Curry stains on your floor can be unsightly, but removing them is a manageable task using simple household ingredients.
Here's a straightforward method to tackle those stubborn curry marks:
Step-by-Step Curry Stain Removal
According to sources, a paste made from bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar is effective for lifting curry stains from floors.
Here’s how to apply this method:
- Initial Clean-up: As soon as the spill occurs, take a damp cloth and carefully wipe up as much of the curry as possible. This prevents the stain from setting further.
- Prepare the Paste: In a container, mix two tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda with one part water and one part white vinegar. Stir until you create a thick paste. This combination creates a gentle but effective cleaning agent.
- Apply the Paste: Apply the paste directly onto the remaining curry stain on the floor surface.
- Rub Gently: Using a cloth or soft brush, gently rub the paste into the stain. The abrasive nature of the bicarbonate of soda combined with the cleaning properties of vinegar helps to lift the colour.
- Wipe Clean: After gently rubbing the stain away, take a clean cloth (dampened with water) and wipe the surface to remove all residue of the paste and the lifted stain.
This process should help remove the curry stain from your floor, leaving the surface clean.
