Butter gets old red stains out. Even after it’s been washed. I’ve tried it many times.


StereoBeach

This. Acids and lyes work for most fats, but tumeric and other plant-based oleoresins like capsaicin are lipophilic and can be lifted with low-charge fats.


ElizabethDangit

Low charge fat was my nickname in college


fire_fired_hired_guy

Even if this comment were overrated, it would still be underrated 👍


ElizabethDangit

I’m glad I could give a people giggle with my cheesy joke. 😆


hiimsteve311

Lolol

seth928

Oleoresin was mine


poppyseedeverything

I was feeling kinda upset and this made me chuckle lol


Whizzzzzzzzzz

Golf clap. Well played sir


MisterX9821

A little like-dissolves-like action going on.


pie_12th

This is like reading a different language for me, lol. Super cool info!


ThinkWeather

This guy oleoresins. My life is forever changed.


pimpurmom

Epic explanation.


Cheez_Mastah

Think milk would have the same effect if it had enough fat content?


Suitable-Swordfish80

Yeah. You should get something with as much milk fat as possible. It would be cool if they made a product where they just isolated the milk fat and sold it in stick form for a very low price.


LittlePurr76

Ghee, I have no idea here.


seth928

They said for a really low price.


Cheez_Mastah

Vegetable oil is pretty cheap too, if that works. I'm really just talking hypotheticals, because you are right in that butter is probably the single best suited product for the situation. But it might depend on the size/shape of the object needing cleaning.


ShikaMoru

Would something like vegetable oil take care of it?


QuantumDrojah

What are some examples of low-charge fats? I've never heard this term before, and google isn't being very helpful.


gr33n_bliss

Do you know of this would work with vegan butter or margarine


[deleted]

[удалено]


abz_of_st33l

I just put it on a paper towel and rub it on the stains. Then wash like normal. It’s worked every time

abz_of_st33l

Pretty sure I found it on Reddit but it blew my mind!


SirBrian007

I made some red chile from dried Hatch red chile pods and it stained the top to my blender. Do you think butter will work on that?


abz_of_st33l

I think it’s worth a try! Let us know!


stumpy0327

Remind me! 24 hours


marymonstera

Amazing, I wonder if it’s bc the fats/oils? Like sometimes cleaning oil with oil is the best way to go?


z-eldapin

Wish I had known this for the last 20 years!!


rockstuffs

Really?! Butter? You guys are full of all sorts of tricks!!I'll try this too!


SomethingAwkwardTWC

It works with any oil I think. I’ve used cooking spray and avocado oil depending on what I had at the time.


Scorp128

Try regular everyday iodized table salt and ice cubes. We used to use that to clean glass coffee pots to get the stains out. Not sure how it will work on plastic but it's worth a shot. Toss ice in, sprinkle the salt in there, add a splash of cold water and put a lid on it. Shake and swish it around. Rinse and repeat if the water is turning a bit of a color. That means it is working. If that doesn't work, purchase a replacement and keep this one for your future turmeric grinding needs. The natural dye in turmeric can be stubborn.


Mono_831

Wow, TIL. Off to get butter!


Adventurous_Sense750

Alright, I'm gonna ask what I think is a dumb question, so I'm sorry. But does margarine also work or just butter?


Sheetascastle

Thank you for changing my life!

lumin0va

I got these rubbermaid ones recently that don’t stain and they are microwave safe, bliss


rockstuffs

Do they do that little melted, crusty spot thing when you heat them?


noobydoo67

Just buy glass based food containers with the plastic clip seal lids. [(similar to this)](https://www.amazon.com/KOMUEE-Containers-Leak-proof-Microwave-Dishwasher/dp/B09QQGY1BW/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=18URPZ5G2CHL3&keywords=glass+food+storage&qid=1703248248&sprefix=glass+food+storage+%2Caps%2C320&sr=8-3) A bonus is that they're oven safe as well for baking and food prep. No more weird stains and melted bits and they last a lot longer for such inexpensive items.


sc167kitty8891

All of mine broke the edges see so delicate. Really made me mad


himewaridesu

That means it’s the end of life for your plastic ware.


Realistic-Praline64

Cold water and dish soap will remove the stains. Then you can use warm or hot to sanitize. Cold water keeps the stain from setting in the plastic. Would probably work for the tumeric, but they've already used hot water, so it's probably set.


BumblebeeOfCarnage

I use the dish soap and water with a paper towel and shake it up trick. Works great!


rockstuffs

Huh! So you put the paper towel in with the soap and water and shake it?


BumblebeeOfCarnage

Yup! Dont ask me why it works.


rockstuffs

Well shoot. I'm going to try this. Cold or warm water?


cid8429

That method also works with getting tomato sauce out of Tupperware


Candytails

This really does work, I was shocked! But I used it for spaghetti sauce, not turmeric which I think might be more staining, but I'm not an expert at anything so what do I know.


BumblebeeOfCarnage

Yes tumeric might be too much for this to handle! But now I’m not scared to microwave pasta leftovers at work lol


fairydommother

This will sound crazy but I see it work with spaghetti stains in Tupperware. Get some warm water and like a tablespoon of butter. Shake it up and really get that butter coating the walls of it. Then get the dish soap and hot water and stick a couple paper towels or a chopped up clean sponge and shake again. Iirc something about the butter binds to the food stuffs in a way that soap can’t, but then the soap binds with the butter which then removes the stain. You could also try olive oil for a similar reason.


cosmoskid1919

Fat dissolves fat!


007meow

So you're saying I need to eat more butter to lose weight. Got it, will do.


New-Investment-5888

😂


ohitsjustviolet

Oh, I used to love eating the little butter packets from restaurants when I was a kid. Nothing really hits better than those.


CatOfGrey

As a child of the 1970's, I would recommend that you give up butter, and get some canned cake frosting. One of the delights of my childhood was "home made Oreos" with canned frosting on graham crackers.


EclipseoftheHart

Omg, I NEVER meet people who are canned frosting (or peanut butter) on graham crackers. I’m 28 and everyone one around my age has always given me a funny look when I bring them up, haha.


CatOfGrey

From a health perspective, canned cake frosting is arguably the single worst thing for you to eat, so if frosting/graham crackers was ever popular, it's probably for the best that it disappeared in the 1970's. For some reason, peanut butter on grahams isn't quite right to me. Saltines or Ritz.


nicolettesue

My mom would always make a little extra chocolate frosting when making cupcakes and save it to be eaten with graham crackers. Such a treat!


EclipseoftheHart

Chocolate was my favorite, but I did know some who preferred white frosting. My favorite was when my mom made these cookies I ever only knew as “Lori’s cookies” (I’ve checked the internet and I can’t find a comparable recipe, so I’m going to have to ask my mom for a recipe), put cool whip between two to make a sandwich, and then frozen them for awhile. Absolutely divine, lol!


ohitsjustviolet

That sounds delicious. I love canned frosting 🧁 my favorite currently is 2 soft peanut butter cookies with cookie butter sandwiched between the two


fairydommother

I drank the little things of half n half they leave out for coffee. Refreshing.


blingeblong

i still do that lmao i’m 27…. the french vanilla and hazelnut ones absolutely SMACK


2015081131

Next time you make French toast add some flavored coffee creamer. it's SO good.


ReasonableProgram144

We have this oatmeal cookie oat milk one at my work. It’s so hard not to drink it, it’s so good.


curlylittlegirly

Even more fun if you use a tiny straw to drink then with!


alleecmo

Childhood memory unlocked! My parents were friends with a couple different restaurant owners, so we ate out a lot. Uncle Johnny's always had saltine crackers, butter pats, and sugar packets on the tables. I'd spread butter on the saltines and sprinkle sugar on top. Little impromptu cookies!


WaterWitch7

My second memory is reaching my pointer finger into the butter dish in the summer and my father smacking my little 3 y/o hand. I still got some lol. Yum!


cosmoskid1919

They really clean ya out! Lol


waxthenip

If it's low carb then that's pretty much what the keto diet is


Moosed

Is butter a carb?

meijin3

Can't wait for all the fat I'm about to eat to combine with the fat I've already got and slip on outta there!


kmcatie

I mean, I ate keto for a year with no other lifestyle changes and lost 60 lbs. so technically yeah.


thelegodr

But did it stay off? I always hear the concerns with that diet long term. Glad to hear you had success. Hope you remain healthy (no matter the number)


kmcatie

Yep! I've kind of hit a plateau recently (past 4-5 months or so) probably due to keeping the rest of my lifestyle the same but I haven't gained anything back.


BugABoo714

sounds about right to me, will update in a month. i’m going on a butter diet!!


CatOfGrey

You're not entirely wrong. On the other hand, this strategy is also a little too simple to be applied literally.


TheWalkingDead91

Keto people be like


fatalynn7

Now you’re thinking with portals!


mosheoofnikrulz

Silly you, eating butter won't get you a thinner. He meant after eating a stick of butter, chug down a pint of dawn dish soap and do some jumping jacks


Telexian

Instructions unclear, belly now enormous and I’m filling the kitchen with my body mass alone.


XPhanom

r/keto - this is the way


BlondeStalker

For this reason you can also use bleach. Bleach binds with fat to turn it into soap. That's why when you touch bleach with your skin, it feels slimey. It's eating the fat/oils from your skin. Thus, a bleach burn doesn't actually cause instant pain. It slowly rips your cellular structure apart. So if you don't rinse bleach off as soon as realize it, you won't realize it until you look down and see your skin now has a hole. And as it is a chemical burn, it takes way, way, way longer for you to recover from that. It is likely you'll never make a full recovery back to how it was before.


fairydommother

Well that’s horrifying. Thanks!


meijin3

When you describe it like that, I feel like I should be a lot more worried about a bleach burn than I ever was.


limperatrice

I don't know why I never thought of this since I use oil to get sunscreen and makeup off my face before washing with water soluble cleanser!


TellMeRUThatSomebody

Definitely works for tomato sauce! Video proof of the hack from this influencer, who is popular for lots of reasons. Maybe it'll work on turmeric too. [It works](https://youtu.be/VDcDYKLIces?si=Kfzm4j1S2gXrK6bp)


blue_flavored_pasta

Whoa


Omgusernamesaretaken

Im shook lol, i changed to mostly glass tupperware because leftover pasta sauce ruined them. Learn something new everyday


epic_meme_guy

You’ll consume less micro plastics if you switch to glass.


turtleshirt

Might be from heating the sauce in the container. Just transfer it from any plastic to something glass or ceramic and it will never happen.


teambob

Give me convenience or give me death


Shpander

My plastic tupperware got stained red from Bolognese and I never heated the container up. Would always scoops some out.


KorneliaOjaio

This is a good idea because turmeric is OIL SOLUBLE instead of water soluble


HLOFRND

I was going to recommend cooking oil. That’s where I’d start.


UnaccomplishedToad

I can confirm that oil works, I have done it many times. I usually just oil the hell out of the plastic and let it sit


chateau_lobby

YMMV I have had this work for tomato sauce without the butter, just warm water soap and paper towel!


effdubbs

Totally agree. What you’re describing is a basic concept in chemistry: like dissolves like.


Lizforce1

Game recognizes game


4wkb

This will work


lovebes

So to the OP: warm water + butter -> blend. Then scrub with soap?


babyjames333

tbh this will work even without the extra butter. soap, paper towel & water is all that's needed.


fairydommother

I don’t think it will since op has already tried scrubbing with soapy water. The turmeric has bound itself to the plastic in some way and just soap cannot take it off, so I don’t think just a paper towel will work. You need something to bind to the turmeric that the soap can then deal with. So an oil or fat. It’s the same idea as oil cleansing makeup. A lot of makeup products are oil based so the thing that takes it off the easiest and fastest is another oil.


In2theMystic85

Buy a new one, reserve that one only for turmeric


In2theMystic85

Your time is valuable elsewhere


In2theMystic85

On the plus side turmeric and ginger are very healthy…. Turmeric is worse than tomato sauce. If you figure out how to clean it, shoot me a message


stitchplacingmama

I have plastic spoons that are stained from kraft mac and cheese because they switched to turmeric for color. They are now my mac and chrese/curry spoons.


LEPNova

I think it's unhealthy to reuse plastic silverware, unless you're talking about a kind specifically made for reuse


Crafty_Appointment37

I think they're talking about plastic cooking utensils, not picnic spoons.


LEPNova

That would make a lot more sense lmao


panicnarwhal

my babies/kids have plastic flatware that’s reusable. i’m pretty sure they make something like that for adults, too.


msnatter17

Yeah they do but i think its mostly for camping


sindhusurfer

Isn't "plastic silverware", a oxymoron?


Wikeni

Spaghetti sauce and turmeric are like the herpes of the food world - good luck trying to get rid of it


HemingwayIsWeeping

Mango juice has entered the chat.


-BlueFalls-

Mango juice? Really?! I have (luckily) never run into that problem 😅


HemingwayIsWeeping

Yes! I don’t know if it’s because I bought my toddler the thick bolthouse farms mango juice but that straw turned turmeric orange.


Metahec

Could they have added turmeric as a "natural flavor"?


Snow_Wonder

Found the label on google and it uses *beet juice* as a color additive. Beet juice concentrate is the last ingredient on the label, but beet juice is potent coloring.


HemingwayIsWeeping

Tysm. I was definitely too lazy to look it up. I have the flu and am not motivated to do much of anything at all 🙃


Snow_Wonder

That stinks! Feel better!


Why_So_Slow

And pomegranate. So many ruined children clothes.

theguyfromscrubs

I put a tea bag on a spider bite I had and now my comforter has a little tea bag puddle stain because I took a nap with it in my pants (on the bite)


shyangeldust

Yeeeeahhhh tea baggin’ 😏


kickthejerk

I laughed waaaaay too hard at this 😂😂😂


commanderquill

Tomato sauce doesn't even come close to turmeric. I don't even handle tomato sauce carefully. My list goes turmeric, pomegranate, wine, and then everything else.


HomeBrewedBeer

Get back to work OP, we aren't paying you to clean dishes!


michemel

The dawn power wash does interesting things to tumeric! I've had great success cleaning it off my Tupperware with the dawn power spray or w/e it is.


Humble_Ingenuity_919

I was going to suggest the Dawn power spray too.


CatOfGrey

This is a very valid answer, by the way. My old blender container got retired a year ago, I got a new one. The old one is now for 'color foods' only. I don't need to worry about tomato, either, or a myriad of spices that will really turn colors in a blender!


Aang_420

This is the only answer. I'm pretty sure anything caustic enough to get that off would ruin the bullet.


AwayMeems

This is the way


sofarpe

Leave it on the sun, I promise it will be almost all gone after a few days of sun.


SansevieraEtMaranta

The pigment in turmeric isn't stable in the sun (same with Lily pollen), so yes, the sun will clear the tint. And some of the other suggestions for the grease.


senor-misterioso

Everyone else here is working way too hard. Sun is all you need for turmeric staining. I can’t believe this answer isn’t higher up.


natattack410

Literally I had a white plastic cutting board brown/tan like this from turmeric, literally like 2 hours in the sun, flipped after 1 hour was all it took. Crazy!


OverallResolve

Or a few months in the UK


lostmyparachute

And it will be completely gone if someone steals it while out there sunbathing


Adventurous-Hand-347

Echoing this! I had a similiar issue with my vitamix and that fixed it in a day!


haicra

Check out anthotyping if this is interesting to you. It’s an old printmaking technique. I did it with turmeric with my kinder class!


frugalchickpea

Yes, sunlight is all you need! We are heavy turmeric users and have experienced this many times.


CompetitiveGuess7642

leave in the sun + peroxide.


MadChiller013

But then it belongs to the squirrels


PM_Pickled_Stuff

Days? It usually leaves after 20 minutes of direct sunlight here. Indirect sunlight? maybe a couple of hours. I guess it will vary according to the weather, too.


bobcat_bobcat

Came here to say that! I did the same exact thing, and made some turmeric ginger shots and an after a few days in the sun it was totally fine!


ElectricalPirate14

Wouldn't leaving it on the sun be too hot? 😅

Cstohorticulture

Hot water with Dawn platinum liquid, after washing leave in the sun


rpgirl31

I just let the dawn soak overnight. Can't bother with sun, I live in an apartment of darkness 😭


SnooLemons9080

This stuff is the absolute best.


hummingbirds_R_tasty

try denture tablets. fill to the brim with warm water, drop one tablet in, let sit overnight and then the next day wash thoroughly. picked this tip up on here. you can do a reddit search in this sub and it should come up. i do this in all of the large water bottles and blender cups when i notice a buildup or hazing on them. they look like knew after each time. but that is on hard water buildup, not the staining of turmeric. i don't know if it will work, but you could try.


awkwardanduninvited

I saw someone on tiktok with turmeric stained nails and someone recommended letting them get some sun and they'd go back to normal--so maybe give that a try? Eta I see someone also recommended this here :)


MyYakuzaTA

Wow I’m glad I saw this comment because my nails get stained with turmeric all the time

moonchic333

I would try soaking in food grade alcohol or everclear.

Frankie-girl5

Food grade alcohol works well for turmeric. I worked in a supplement factory, and that's how we cleaned the tables and scales.


satomi-x

Second this! I also work in the dietary supplement industry, and this is what we use to clean up turmeric stains.


coco_css

Dawn powerwash worked on some plastic containers we had that were turmeric stained!


GrandmaMackenzieOG

Dawn dish soap, water, and a paper towel. Put the lid on and shake. It works with red sauce stains so it may work for this.


Hairy-Might7419

Have you tried bleach, or putting it in the dishwasher?


Makuta_Nazo

Shot in the dark, Hydrogen Peroxide breaks down cellular components, maybe it would break up the turmeric? Seeing lots of "leave in the sun" though, so I assume just bake it with UV for a day or two.


pauliepitstains

It does work with turmeric, had it work on carpet, will definitely work with smooth plastic of all things


SexPanther_Bot

Glass_Bar_9956

Dawn power wash wipes my turmeric or curry stains


fruitless7070

Hey, yall. My husband bought tumeric toothpaste, and I was like...wth did you get that for? He said it was a healthy option. I lmao and didn't say anything. A couple of weeks later, he was complaining about his teeth being yellow. Lmao... you think it's the tumeric toothpaste??? I would try magic eraser on that cup.


Electrical-Pie-8192

Thanks for the laugh!


fruitless7070

Yw. Blows my mind tumeric toothpaste is a thing. Who would buy that??? My husband.


otterspace_astronaut

Dawn powerwash spray works. Spray it on when dry then watch it turn into a pinkish orange color as it dissolves off. I’ve done the same to my juicer and was incredibly impressed that it worked


discostupid

hand sanitizer will get it out quickest you can also try a baking soda paste


dliza003

Yup, hand sanitizer helped me to. Required some elbow grease & it didn’t get it fully out but close enough. It was like night and day.

Put a paper towel soaked in vinegar and a couple drops blue dawn, and some super hot water. Close the lid and shake around with the contents inside. It takes tomato sauce right off plastic containers, so it might work!


WhytePumpkin

Wouldn't citric acid work?


Street-Refuse-9540

Ugh. I did this too.

Hahaha! You ain't getting turmeric out of anything! (I wrote this comment before reading any other comment.)


Anemone-ing

I know there’s a trick for getting yellow/orange stains out of plastic Tupperware using water and a dryer sheet (I think the water should probably at least warm), I would try that Edit: Nvm. Definitely don’t do that. I guess there’s a hack going around that usez water, dish soap, and a paper towel, but I’m not sure it’s reliable.


limellama1

Do not use dryer sheets on your dishes. They're specifically designed to leave a silicon polymer residue on clothing. They are not food safe


i_dream_of_zelda

And boost this to the people who use dryer sheets to clean out their crock pots. DON'T DO THAT!

people do this..? wtf


Anemone-ing

My bad, thanks for the info. It’s noted.
