How to Prevent and Remove Turmeric Stains from Your Countertops
Turmeric is a popular spice known for its vibrant colour and numerous health benefits. However, its bright yellow pigment can cause stubborn stains on almost any surface, including your beloved stone countertops. If you're struggling with turmeric stains, don't worry—our protective film can be the perfect solution to keep your countertops looking pristine.
Why Does Turmeric Stain Countertops So Easily?
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which gives it its distinctive yellow colour. Curcumin is highly pigmented and can easily bind to porous surfaces, making it challenging to remove once it sets in. When turmeric comes into contact with countertops, it can leave behind unsightly stains that are difficult to clean with regular household cleaners.
Common Surfaces Affected by Turmeric Stains
Stone Countertops: Granite, marble, and quartz countertops are particularly susceptible to turmeric stains due to their porous nature. The pigment can seep into the stone, leaving behind a permanent mark.
Wood Surfaces: Wooden cutting boards, tables, and utensils can also absorb turmeric stains, resulting in a yellowish tint that can be hard to remove.
Fabric: Turmeric can easily stain kitchen towels, clothing, and tablecloths, making them look dingy and discolored.
How to Remove Turmeric Stains from Stone Countertops
Act Quickly: The faster you address the stain, the easier it will be to remove. Wipe up any spills immediately to prevent the pigment from setting in.
Use a Paste: Create a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before scrubbing gently with a soft cloth.
Try a Cleaner: Use a non-abrasive, stone-safe cleaner to tackle the stain. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the stone surface.
