How to clean turmeric stains on blender blades
Cleaning blender blades from turmeric stains can be a challenging task because turmeric has the property of leaving yellow stains that are difficult to remove. Here are several ways to clean blender blades from turmeric stains.
1. Wash with dish soap and warm water.
After using a blender to grind the turmeric, wash the blade with dish soap and warm water. Rub gently using a soft sponge or brush.
2. Mix baking soda with water.
Baking soda is an effective natural cleaning agent. Mix baking soda with a little water to form a paste. Apply this paste to the blender blade and leave it for a few minutes before rinsing with clean water.
3. Use lemon water.
Cut a slice of lemon and rub it on the blender blade that has the turmeric stain. The citric acid in lemon can help dissolve turmeric stains. After rubbing, rinse with clean water.
4. Use vinegar.
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Soak the blender blade in this solution for several hours or overnight. Vinegar will help remove turmeric stains. After soaking, rinse with clean water.
5. Use white paste.
You can also use toothpaste. Apply the white paste to the dirty area and leave it for a few minutes before cleaning it with an old toothbrush or other soft brush.
Be sure to rinse the blender blade well after cleaning it to remove any residue from the cleaning agent. Always check the care instructions from your blender manufacturer to ensure that the cleaning method you use is safe for the blades and other parts.
