ByJoy: Homemade Lemon Peel Citrus Enzyme Cleaner (Testing)

We are in the experimental phase of our Homemade Citrus Enzyme Cleaners. Our hardworking microscopic enzymatic friends love to eat dirt, grease, grime and bacteria. By flushing them down the drainage pipes after using helps to clean up the sewage system, which is eco-friendly too!

Our first batch of Homemade Lemon Peel Citrus Enzyme (Vinegar) Cleaner has finally completed its fermentation process after 2 weeks. Hence we sent it for testing at Food's bathroom and kitchen sink using a dilution ratio of 1:1 (water and cleaner). We also checked for allergy of our non-diluted cleaning solution on Mummy's very sensitive hands. The sensitivity result was "CLEAR"!

Note the grime in between the floor tiles while brown spots on grey pipe were paint.

Sprayed the enzyme cleaner over grime which were easily scrubbed away by a rough sponge

Food's kitchen sink edges uncleaned for months 
Note the thick grime between the tiles and sink, and soap scum on the sink surface

After cleaning, the bathroom and kitchen sink area retained a light and refreshing lemon vinegar scent. It would take a couple of weeks before bacteria start getting active in these places again. Also, there was a casualty during today's testing which occurred because he came into contact with the enzyme cleaner. 

一路好走 R.I.P.
In memory of Mr Ant who died during the bathroom cleaning test
Some common household cleaning tasks that that we would also be putting our cleaner to are
  • mop one of the rooms to test the scent and 'feel' of the floor after cleaning.
  • wipe a glass window pane
  • wash the dishes after cooking
  • leave a small portion of undiluted cleaner for 1 year to determine the state of deterioration
Right now, we are starting on the Pineapple Peel Citrus Enzyme Cleaner. Pray for the best! :)
