Title: Getting stains off my Thermomix lid
Post by: Kim Galloway on September 28, 2016, 10:08:34 pm
Hi,
I have borrowed a friend's Thermomix to see how I like it before I buy one. The first dish I cooked was a curry and I now have yellowish stains on the lid and the seal inside the lid. I've tried washing and putting it in the dishwasher. They stains remain! Please help! I can't hand it back like this!

Thank you!

Hi Kim, that's a common problem and a lot of people have 2 lids - 1 for desserts and 1 for savoury dishes.  However in time the stain will fade but I understand how using a borrowed machine you are wanting to hand it back clean.

This from Quirky Jo's website although depending on where you live, there may not be a lot of sunshine around at the moment.

{Top Tip!} Having trouble getting turmeric stains out of your Thermomix lid or seal? Here's a tip from a reader on Twitter: "Turmeric stain is unstable in sunlight. Leave things on the window ledge to degrade the colour." Thanks Martin!
I also find after a few washes the stain fades. (Then I go and do it again. Love turmeric

Thank you so much! Great advice. As it turns out I might be buying this one off her! But I'll try the sunshine and see how we go.

Oh gosh, you must be stressed out. I don't worry about the stains on mine, but then I don't have to return it to anyone. I hope Judy's idea works.

Hi there,

Put the lid of your TM in the sun - providing it's sunny where you are.  The Tumeric stains are photo sensitive and disappear quickly.
