To remove turmeric stains from your cutting board, especially if it's wooden, you can easily use a simple baking soda paste.
Dealing with stubborn turmeric stains on your cutting board doesn't have to be a major chore. A common and effective method involves using ingredients you likely already have in your pantry.
Simple Method Using Baking Soda
According to a method described on 19-Dec-2023, tackling turmeric stains, even those from frequent use of ingredients like turmeric and beets, is "easily fixable." This technique is particularly suitable for wooden cutting boards.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Prepare the Paste: Mix baking soda with hot water to create a paste.
- Apply the Paste: Sprinkle this paste generously onto the stained areas of your cutting board.
- Rub the Stain: Using a sponge, rub the paste into the board, focusing on the turmeric-stained spots.
- Rinse: Rinse the board thoroughly with water to remove the baking soda paste and the lifted stain.
- Dry: Dry the board immediately and completely to prevent moisture damage.
This method leverages the abrasive quality of baking soda and the cleaning power of hot water to lift the vibrant yellow pigment of turmeric from the surface of the wood.
By following these simple steps, you can restore your cutting board's appearance and keep it looking clean and ready for your next cooking adventure.
