(DIY method to keep our family and surroundings healthy)
While we all are striving hard to keep our house and surroundings clean, there is one thing which can create a win – win situation for our family, water bodies and overall environment. That is bioenzyme. It is made up of only three ingredients : water, citrus peels and jaggery. It acts as a multi-purpose surface cleaner and is the natural substitute to many chemical based surfactants like floor cleaner, toilet cleaner, detergent etc. When used for any purpose, bioenzyme don’t emit toxic fumes and help us avoid skin infections, breathing related issues etc. It is even safe for a crawling kid and our pets. The wastewater can be used for plants or even when drained out, it helps in cleaning the drain water and finally water bodies.
The best thing about bioenzyme is that we can prepare it at home quite easily. The ingredients: water, citrus peels and jaggery need to be put preferably in an airtight plastic container in a ratio of 10:3:1. The solution is kept to ferment for 90 days away from direct sunlight. During the fermentation process, the container needs to be opened once everyday for the first week and then on alternate days for next week to release the gases.
Bioenzymes release good bacteria. Just like probiotics help us become healthy, bioenzyme is probiotics for the water bodies. Chemical based surfactants are very difficult to break down thus polluting water. If we replace them with bioenzyme, water bodies will automatically get eco-friendly sewage and thus would help in ensuring clean water bodies.
