An orange stain on a towel can come from a few common sources—figuring out the cause helps you remove it properly:
🟠 Common causes
- Rust (iron in water or pipes) → leaves orange/brown marks
- Makeup or self-tanner → often orange-tinted
- Spices or food (like turmeric or curry) → bright orange/yellow stains
- Body oils mixed with products → can oxidize and turn orange over time
🧼 How to remove it
1. For rust stains
- Apply lemon juice + salt directly on the stain
- Let it sit in sunlight for 30–60 minutes
- Rinse and wash normally
2. For makeup/self-tanner
- Rub in liquid detergent or dish soap
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes
- Wash in warm water
3. For food/spice stains
- Pre-treat with baking soda paste or detergent
- Wash with warm water
- Avoid heat drying until the stain is gone
⚠️ Important tips
- Don’t use bleach immediately—it can set certain stains or react with minerals
- Always test any treatment on a small hidden area first
- Repeat treatment if needed before drying
If you tell me what the stain might be from (or its exact color/texture), I can give you a more precise fix 👍
