I got some turmeric powder on carpet. How do I get it off? Tried some dish soap and a random enzyme based pet stain remover and I don’t think it did anything.

Looks like turmeric is the king of impossible stains 😬 We have a guy coming out to try a professional thing, and after that I’m going to try, in order: 1. Molly’s suds 2. Resolve 3. Oil to dissolve 4. Bleach This is a rental, so if I can’t get it out, I guess I pay.

Stain removal is unfortunately non-ergodic so order of things you try should ideally be in order of increasing effectiveness so failed methods don’t make it worse. Somehow this shit really stresses me out. It’s like a car accident in stress terms.

California law apparently treats rental carpets as having a 10-year life and non-normal-wear damage = you can be charged fir pro-rated residual life. Anyone have experience with what landlords charge fir carpet damage? Only for oath replacement or whole room?

Turmeric is demon stain. Trying experiments on a rag. Baking soda just turns it orange. Oxiclean turns it red. Will try alcohol too. I’m not hopeful.

That’s it. Blocking anyone who makes lazy “baking soda and vinegar” suggestions or the “stain the rest of the carpet” jokes 🤬 I have suffered what will likely be lifelong trauma security-deposit + more here. Enough to make me consider home ownership. Stain sufferers unite!

Replying to and
Naïve question, and I’m from a different country, but have you considered telling the landlord and going with a fix that they agree with? It would at least avoid being liable for making it worse…
