Brilio.net - Turmeric is one of the spices that is often used in cooking. Not without reason, turmeric can be used as a natural food coloring. After investigating, the yellow color in turmeric comes from the substance curcumin.
Unfortunately, the yellow color of turmeric can leave marks on the kitchen utensils used. Not only that, sometimes turmeric color also splashes onto clothes. However, removing turmeric stains from clothes is not an easy job. Even though it has been washed repeatedly, the yellow stains on the clothes are still clearly visible.
As a solution, a number of people deliberately rub turmeric stains on citrus clothes. After rubbing for a while, the turmeric stain on the clothes will fade by itself.
But don't just use citrus, it turns out there are other cleaning agents that can be used. An Instagram user @ka.laundry_ showed how to wash clothes that were already stained with yellow turmeric.
