30 December, 2024

Facial Cleanser

Wet the stained area with water, apply a small amount of facial cleanser, lather, and gently wipe away with a soft cloth. Rinse again with water.

Milk

Soak a cotton ball in milk and gently wipe the affected area until the yellow stain disappears. Repeat as needed.

Sugar

If you don’t have milk, try using sugar. Dissolve some sugar in a bowl with a small amount of water. Soak a cotton ball in the solution and gently wipe the stained area. Continue this process until the yellow stain is gone.

Toothpaste

Toothpaste is a great exfoliator. Apply a small amount to the stained area and let it sit for a minute. Then, use a damp cloth to wipe it away, and the yellow stain should be gone.

Mentholated Oil

Apply mentholated oil to the stained area and gently massage it in. The stain should fade after a few rubs. Rinse with soap and water to remove the scent.

Shaving Cream

Spray shaving cream onto the stained area and let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute. Then, gently wipe it away with a cotton ball.

Baking Soda

Mix baking soda and water in a 2:1 ratio and apply the paste to the stain. Let it sit for about 30 seconds, then rinse with water. Your skin will be stain-free and refreshed!

Rubbing Alcohol

For this method, simply apply a few drops of rubbing alcohol to a cloth and gently wipe the stained area. Note: Avoid using this method on the face. Purchase rubbing alcohol from a reputable source to ensure safety.

Laundry Tips for Turmeric-Stained Clothes

To remove turmeric stains from clothing, try the following:

Lemon Soak

Soak the garment in lemon water for about 20 minutes. Then, gently scrub and wash it with detergent as usual. Note: This method is most effective for fresh stains that have not dried yet.

Baking Soda Paste

Create a thick paste by mixing baking soda and water, and apply it directly to the stain. Let it sit for about 30 minutes, then wash as usual.

White Vinegar

Mix vinegar, water, and detergent, and apply the solution to the stain. Gently scrub the fabric to lift the stain, then wash as usual. For better results, let the solution sit on the stain for a few minutes before scrubbing and washing.

For stained utensils, cutlery, and chopping boards, soak them overnight in a mixture of vinegar and hot water. The next day, wash them with dish soap and rinse thoroughly.
