how to clean the outside after spilling Tumeric on it?
« on: April 10, 2012, 01:56:10 am »
Can anyone help? I have spilled tumeric on the left hand side of the outer controls (near the temperature controls). Now stained yellow.

Perhaps try one of those Magic Erasers or some bleach on a cloth, I even read someone uses antibacterial spray but have never experienced this problem myself.  I'd just try everything and anything.  Good luck.

Might steer clear of the magic erasers as they will probably dull the white parts of the TM. I only use them occasionally in the bowl. Try the bleach or something else non abrasive. I have a little stain at the top where the lid clicks in that I would like to get rid of as well.
I would try it now but I'm in the workshop framing. Let us know how you go.

My partner spilled turmeric on our benchtop last night whilst making dinner, we used gumption on it and it cleaned right off.
I often use gumption to clean the bottom of my TMX bowl.

Is this usually available in supermarkets? I can't say I have ever see it or heard of it before. Sounds like good stuff.

Yes and definitely yes.  I used to buy White Lily but this is the nearest thing these days.  *Checks cupboard to make sure there's still some in there* ;)

You guys are naughty making me buy more stuff lol.
Although I do love cleaning products.

I have this stain In my toilet that I absolutely hate, I spent a small fortune on heaps of different products to try and get rid of it, I even tried putting a kitchen glove on and scrubbing it to get rid of the mark :(
But nothing ever worked, so now I'm going to just buy a whole new toilet cistern ;D

Try the gumption first. It's great stuff.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

You'll only have to buy gumption once Dede, that stuff lasts forever!

I hope you've added a new pair of kitchen gloves to your online shopping 😊
