Investigatory Project
I. INTRODUCTION There are many dangerous chemicals in our surroundings; most of them can be located inside our own homes. Almost every household would contain cleaning liquids like liquid detergent, mildew removers, insecticides and many other harmful chemicals; that is the reason why we decided to focus this investigatory project on creating an eco- friendly cleaning solution. The problem of the modern world is that we have created far too much hazardous chemical since it does the daily chores, like that of scrubbing the floor, in a faster and easier pace, unknowing that this can harm the ozone layer. Our investigatory project aims to create an environment- friendly cleaning solution using citrus peelings and some of its extracts. With this investigation, we hope to find the answer to our problem; “Can we be able to create an environment- friendly cleaning solution from fruit peelings?” Hopefully, it is possible and we can be able to help be a factor of the movement against pollution.
Based on our research, cleaning solutions our often hazardous as well as corrosive, with this experiment, the group will be finding an alternative from cleaning solutions that contain ammonium, hydrogen bifluoride, hydrofluoric acid, and substances of the like. As an alternative, we will be creating a solution made out of common materials that can be usually found in the kitchen. Citrus peelings such as lemons and oranges contain an acid that can fight of germs and odors, Baking soda and vinegar are the ones that eliminate bacteria and that of the like. With these ingredients combined, we can create a successful cleaning solution that is beneficial to both man and its planet.
II. PROBLEM
With the different hazardous chemicals found within the premises of everyone’s homes, the nature of this study is to be able to create a replacement for these chemicals and to successfully produce it. The problem that we are trying to solve is being able to successfully create the cleaning
