| So, I made this amazing Burmese dish that calls for turmeric and my 2 yr old dropped a tiny drop on his turquoise shirt and I washed it with soap right away and now have tide from a tide stain pen on it, but help! The turquoise short now has a random lime green blob... |

| If you washed and dried it, it's likely a permanent lime green blob. If not, try oxyclean. Or a paste of baking soda. |

| Oh, turmeric is the worst. It's a bitch to get out if you get on it immediately. If it's already been through the wash, it's set til judgment day. |

Real life conversation I had once:
Me: How do you get out turmeric stains? Other person: You don't. |

| Buy Stain Devil - those little yellow bottles - they have different ones for different stains, so check the chart on the inside flap on the front. It's a great brand, took out some bad pasta sauce stains. |

| Don't waste your time. Cut out stain and iron on cute patch. Turmeric doesn't come out. |

| You can try to put it direct sunlight outside after it's washed...it helps. Trick of many Indian aunties. |
