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.

People who think living with it is an option clearly haven’t rented in a while

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!

So much schadenfreude in the world. Bastards.
Making a list of names in my little black book for revenge. One day, you’ll be the one with the turmeric stain and I’ll be the one laughing AND NOT SHARING MY STAIN-FIGHTING SECRETS. 💀💀

Ok pro guy didn’t really know what he was doing. He tried using pros choice red which you use along with a wet towel and hot iron. Reversed the slight reddening due to previous use of baking soda but otherwise did nothing. Back to square 1 proschoice.com/phone/red-1.ht

This is Ph 7 ammonium hydroxide plus some other stuff.
From a video I watched this is the approach for artificial color not plant based. Video used reducing bleach.
He only charged for gas to come out since he couldn’t get it out.
We’re now on my own. Molly’s suds next.

Now in the Walter White zone of suggestions. Breaking Bad Yellow. Toluene sounds a few nitros away from TNT 😂 t.co/gwmW6fYfFV

This resource doesn’t list turmeric in the index and also says plant based may be impossible

Do you actually want to get the stain out? Or just geek out on stain removal?
Because I don’t know the science, but I’m willing to bet that my method works!

Yours is near top of list things to try, after Molly’s suds, which is a glycerin based soap someone recommended. After that, your method. After that, increasingly geeky things.
I’m sure you’re confident, but lots of suggestions seem to be :)

haha, i'm sure, but are they willing to make it fun? 😁
in seriousness, maybe a recommendation is to be patient, let it soak well, and actually repeat it a few times!
good luck 👍
