I saw my friend from the Central region only wash turmeric clean, not peel it, and then put it in a mortar for grinding. If the turmeric needs to be peeled, you should wear gloves or use a spoon to scrape off the skin to reduce the risk of turmeric sticking to your nails and hands.
If unfortunately turmeric sticks to your hands, you can follow the following method (it takes a little time) but it will definitely remove the turmeric stain.
First, soak and rub your hands in a warm sugar solution with a ratio of sugar to water in about 1:1 for about 2 minutes.
Then, soak your hands in a solution with 2 tablespoons of baking soda and lemon juice (1 fruit). Soak and rub your hands for 5 minutes. At this point, the yellow spots on the nails and hands have faded a lot. Lemon has a great effect in cleaning dirt, you can use lemon to rub on your nails.
If the yellow spots are still stubborn, then you can use a simple trick which is to mix lemon juice + sugar solution and a little laundry detergent. The advantage of this method is that the yellow color quickly fades. The disadvantage is that it may harm your hands and have a pungent smell of detergent.
Some people have tried applying toothpaste and using a brush to scrub on the skin surface. However, this method can irritate the skin!
What about if turmeric sticks to knives, cutting boards, blenders, and kitchen countertops?
Some people have succeeded in using detergent powder to remove turmeric stains on kitchen utensils. But you must be really careful to clean these tools with warm water several times and sun-dry them because they are used for food preparation.
A safer option is to use chemicals related to food and clean them several times with warm water.
You can also try to clean the yellow-stained kitchenware with the following mixtures:
– Mixture of lemon and baking soda.
– Mixture of vinegar and lemon.
– Mixture of sugar + water and lemon.
For cutting boards or wooden mortars, you should use a special one for turmeric. It is not really necessary to clean wooden utensils because they will be corroded and pose many health risks if not cleaned properly. Always remember to sun-dry the wood after soaking in water to avoid moisture and mold!
