Soto offers a deliciousness like no other. Its savory and spice-rich broth combines with tender meat, noodles, and various other accompaniments, creating a harmony of flavors that are appetizing. Soto can pamper the tongue with various variations of spices and presentations that differ in each region.
One of the main attractions of soto is its distinctive yellow broth. This yellow color usually comes from turmeric, which not only gives it a distinctive taste but also an appetizing color. However, behind its deliciousness, the yellow broth of soto can also be a challenge, especially if it spills onto clothes. The yellow stains left by the soto broth are sometimes difficult to remove.
It will be even more troublesome if the soto sauce spills on white clothes. The resulting yellow stain will be even more visible. Therefore, the stain must be cleaned immediately until it is completely gone.
Well, to remove these yellow stains , you don't always have to use detergent. There are other ingredients that are more effective for washing these white clothes. The ingredient was once used by a netizen with a Facebook account, Fitri Rahmawati. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted to only using three kitchen ingredients.

Baking soda, vinegar, and dish soap are effective in removing yellow stains from white clothes due to their natural cleaning properties. They are mild abrasives and have the ability to neutralize acids, helping to loosen and lift stains from the fabric fibers without damaging them. Meanwhile, vinegar contains acetic acid which helps dissolve stains, especially oil-based or food-based stains. Vinegar also acts as a natural softener and helps restore the brightness of whites. On the other hand, dish soap is designed to break down oil and grease, so it is very effective in removing stains that contain oil, including yellow stains from food. The combination of these ingredients works together to clean and restore the brightness of white clothes.
