how to remove curry/turmeric stains from carpet?

ijindal · Sep 17, 2013

My son is 2 years old. He spilled the dal over the big area on the carpet last week.
I cleaned the stain with dishwasher and iron technique..it did n't work..go to walmart and try spotshot..it also did not work. and then went to home depot and got the homedepot brand carpet stain remover..that has not done any wonders..
can you please suggest..i have similiar spots on few other places on the carpet..
please help....we have to vacate the apartment next month as our lease is ending...

Since you have other spots on carpet, perhaps its time to steam clean the carpet (rent one from home depot)? Normally if nothing else works, this should.

I used Amazon.com - Folex Co. FSR32 Folex Instant Carpet Stain Remover - 32 Fl 0z. for removing turmeric stains from carpet. Worked pretty well though it needed to be sprayed multiple times.

Sun does wonders on turmeric stains so if you can leave window open so that suns rays fall directly on it that will fade the stain if not than oxygen bleach or lemon juice may help.
