Q&A for How to Remove Turmeric Stains

Follow the instructions here, considering the type of fabric it is.

Rubbing alcohol works best. Curcumin is the "essence" of turmeric, and it's only soluble in alcohol or oil, not water. You can get most of the stain out with the alcohol, then alternate dish soap (citrus ones seem to work well) or degreasing spray cleaner and alcohol. If you are left with any stains after a few tries, oxy cleaners work okay (try the pet stain pre-treaters) bleach will get the rest. Use a diluted solution (1 tbsp./cup H2O), rinse well, then wash hands and put moisturizer on to replenish all the natural oils leached out of your skin. Or mix lemon juice with a few aspirin, rub it into your skin, rinse. Great exfoliator!

Here are a couple of ideas: 1 - Swish 3% hydrogen peroxide in your mouth for about a minute, then rinse with water very thoroughly. If you have any sensitivity in your mouth, dilute the hydrogen peroxide with an equal amount of water before swishing. This isn't a quick fix; it may take 2 to 4 weeks of daily rinsing to get results. 2 - Make a paste of about 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and 1 one tablespoon of baking soda. Using a toothbrush, brush your teeth with the paste. After, let the paste sit on your teeth for about a minute. Then rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. Again, this isn't a quick fix as it may take 2 to 6 weeks of daily use to get results.

Brush the carpet with a rag to remove the excess turmeric. Then pour white vinegar over the stain. This will loosen the turmeric. Sprinkle cornstarch on top of it to absorb all the turmeric. Wait till it is dry and scrape the dry cornstarch off with a nylon brush.

Try scrubbing your fingernails with toothpaste.
