Non-Toxic
Home made liquid Cleaner

Our skin is the largest organ of the body and provides the critical first line of defense against many viruses and bacteria entering our body. Just the way we safeguard our organs like heart, liver, kidneys etc., it is imperative to safeguard the largest organ of our body, and the primary defense of our body : "The Skin".

Our palms and feet are often subjected to several toxins via harsh cleansing products. Our skin absorbs these toxins on a daily basis. Sometimes the residue of these cleaning products are stuck to vessels and gets ingested into our body which is very harmful in the long run. 

We have had bad experience with commercial cleaners (lost our pet due to harsh chemicals in floor cleaner) and thus came up with this idea after lot of research and experience from others.

This Home made cleaner is non-toxic and highly effective for replacing "floor cleaner liquid" and "vessel cleaners". In most of the commercially available cleaners advertising power of limes etc, use synthetic lime/citrus and not the real citrus. Just like synthetic food coloring, synthetic chocolate etc. none of them are natural or human friendly in long run.

This bio enzyme / home made cleaner not only protects our palm and feet on a daily basis but also improves the health of our skin. The more you wash dishes & clean your floor, more healthy skin is :) The citrus also exfoliates the dead skin and makes room for new skin.  

Did you know: Orange peel used in the recipe has the same / higher amount of Vitamin C than the orange itself. Orange peel also contains good amounts of provitamin A, folate, riboflavin, thiamine, vitamin B6, and calcium. They also contain limonene, a chemical that may protect against skin cancer. It is used heavily in cosmetics like sunscreen lotion and anti aging substances.

Antimicrobial & Antioxidant Home Made Cleaner Recipe
Magic number to remember 1 : 3: 10
1 portion of jaggery (acts as food for bacteria creating enzyme) - use powder jaggery to easily dissolve.
3 portions of orange peels
10 portions of water

  1. Mix above ingredients in an airtight plastic container (DO NOT USE GLASS vessel or any other material. Glass may crack or burst due to gas formation over time). Do not fill the container fully. Leave at least 20% empty space for gas formation. Write the date on the container / sticker it.
  2. Just open and close the container to release gas. Every day for first week. every second day for second week and weekly once thereafter for 3 months. You will feel the strong aroma every time you open your container. This is a good sign and orange aroma is anti-depressant. Store it in a cool dry place in your cupboard.
  3. After 3 months, filter and use the liquid as floor cleaner or washing vessels. The pulp can also be used for cleaning vessels. Its the best skin friendly antimicrobial liquid. Safe floor cleaner if you have infants/pets at home.

Note

1

Make 3-4 containers each lasting about one month so you have continuous flow of cleaner. You could mix some of the previous batch leftover pulp to make the cleaner enzyme faster : 1 - 2 months instead of 3 months.

2

Collect and store peels in the freezer until you have enough to make another jar. Allow the peels to defrost completely and then use it. If you dont have orange, you could substitute with lime peels, sweet lime peels or pineapple peels. All are equally good but orange gives the best aroma. 

3

Recycle the plastic container available from local grocery shops for little or nothing. Avoid purchasing new plastics to save environment.

4

If you are hiring someone to clean your vessels / your floor, they may not always be open to the idea of using new cleaner and and could give excuses initially. It is our responsibility to educate them for the benefit of our health, families health, societies health and the environment.
