"Luckily, we have the perfect baking soda hack for cleaning turmeric stains off kitchen items. Making a baking soda paste can get rid of tough turmeric stains, even ones that have set into materials like ceramic, stoneware, and porcelain. All you need is baking soda and water. Don't use baking soda and vinegar together, as it doesn't work because mixing the two actually creates a chemical reaction that counteracts any cleaning power the ingredients would have on their own."
"Instead, mix ½ cup of baking soda with ½ cup of water in a bowl to create a paste. Apply it to the stain and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Then use a soft, damp cloth or non-abrasive sponge to rub the baking soda into the material to gently remove the stain. If the stain remains, you can add a tablespoon of lemon juice or a few drops of dish soap to the baking soda paste."

Baking soda mixed with water forms a paste that removes stubborn turmeric stains from ceramic, stoneware, and porcelain. Apply the paste, let it sit 15 to 20 minutes, then rub with a soft damp cloth or non-abrasive sponge to lift the stain. If needed, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to increase stain removal or a few drops of dish soap to break down turmeric oils. Avoid combining baking soda and vinegar because the reaction reduces cleaning effectiveness. Avoid using lemon or baking soda on sensitive countertop materials such as marble.
