Before treating a turmeric stain on dyed fabric, do a quick colorfastness test so your stain remover or water won’t pull out or bleed the dye. Test a hidden spot with the same liquid you plan to use, then check the cloth and the fabric for any color transfer before you proceed.
How to Test Colorfastness Before Treating a Turmeric Stain
Steps to Take Right Away
- Blot immediately. Use a clean cloth to absorb excess liquid.
What Not to Do
- Don't use hot water initially. Heat can set many stains permanently.
Notes for Common Situations
If stain is fresh: Speed matters most - treat immediately for best results.
