Removing yoghurt stains

A spoonful of yoghurt that falls on the sofa or a child's mouth that spills – a yoghurt stain happens in the blink of an eye. At first glance, it may appear to be an innocent milk stain, but yoghurt contains fats and sugars in addition to milk, which can form a stubborn stain when dried. Especially on carpets, furniture or floors, yoghurt can quickly soak in and cause unpleasant odours if you don't take action in time.

Acting quickly really makes a difference with yoghurt stains. The quicker you react, the less chance there is that the stain will penetrate deep into the material or leave an unpleasant odour. Fortunately, yoghurt can be easily removed with the right approach, which usually prevents permanent damage. Read below to find out which approach gives the best results for each surface.
