How to Make Bio Enzyme Easily at Home: Revolutionary Cleaner

Cleaning the home every day is an important task. What if I told you that the regular household cleaners we use every day do more harm than good? They are toxic to us and our planet.

Every day we use chemical cleaners for washing clothes, dishwashing, bathroom cleaning, floor cleaning, drain cleaning, kitchen cleaning, etc., putting ourselves and our planet at greater risk.

Most cleaning products produce VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which are gases emitted into the air that can cause cancer, eye, throat, and lung irritation. According to the environmental working group, 53% of household cleaners contain harmful chemicals that can cause lung damage. 22% of cleaners can cause asthma in healthy individuals.

The most commonly present chemicals are.

Detergents, Formaldehyde, ammonia, bleach, LAS, 1,4-dioxane, NPEs, Phosphates, Boric acid, etc.

These chemicals can cause cancer, asthma, eye irritation, skin irritation, allergies, migraines, and many more.

What can we do to reduce the use of these harmful chemicals?

We can make eco-friendly cleaners that are safe for us and our planet.

That is a bioenzyme. How to make bioenzymes easily at home without any harmful chemicals

What is a bio enzyme?

Bio enzyme is fermented fruit juice. It’s made of fruit peels, jaggery, and water. Which contains enzymes that help to break down fats, dirt, food, and soils from surfaces.

It is also called garbage enzyme, fermented fruit juice, bio enzyme, and kitchen waste enzyme.

How to make bio enzyme easily at home 

It needs only three ingredients.

How to make bio enzyme step by step.

Measurements

1:3:10:15 percent of jaggery: citrus peels: water: volume of a water bottle.

Method: 1. with yeast

Take 1:3:10 amount of jaggery: citrus peels: water and take 1/4 teaspoon of yeast, and add all of them in a plastic bottle.

Label the date.

Release the gas once or a few times a day.

At the end of the 30 days, the bio enzyme is ready to use.

Strain it into another bottle.

For the remaining fruit peels, grind them in 1 liter of water to make a thick cleaner. That can be used for toilet cleaning, dishwashing, and areas that are hard to clean.

 Method: 2. without yeast

Measurements 1:3:10:15 percent of jaggery: citrus peels: Water: volume of a water bottle.

But without yeast. It will take 90 days for fermentation.

For the first 30 days, release the gas every day after that for 60 days, once a week.

After 90 days, strain the liquid into another bottle, grind the remaining pulp, and use it for cleaning the toilet bowl.

Method: 3. with a starter culture.

Measurements 1:3:10:15 percent of jaggery: citrus peels: Water: volume of a water bottle.

For this, add 1 teaspoon of starter culture. (the thick cleaner from the previous batch).

The first 15 days release the gases every day, and another 30 days release the gases on alternative days.

This batch with the starter culture will be ready in 45 days.

How do we know that Bio enzyme is ready to use?

Once all the peels have settled down,. Sometimes we can see white yeast on top. If we use it, it should clean the surface.

Notes: 

1. I recommend using a plastic bottle because the fermentation process releases gases, so it is not recommended to use a glass jar because it can explode due to the pressure built inside.
2. You can use any type of jaggery Black, brown, powdered, rounded, or block. It is better not to use white sugar.
3. Do not fill the bottle to the brim. Leave the space for gases to accumulate on top.
4. Keep the container tightly closed to keep it away from flies.
5. Do not use onion or garlic peels for making household cleaner; they do not smell good.
6. For agricultural use, you can make use of any fruit, vegetable, or flower to make enzymes.
7. Make sure to burp the bottle a few times every day.
8. If you see green mold on the surface, it means that it got contaminated (spoiled) and should be thrown away.
9. We can use citrus fruit peels like orange, lemon, sweet lime, pineapple, tangerine, desert lime, star fruit, pomelo, and bergamot orange.
