Bioenzymes are natural and safe replacement for all harsh and harmful chemicals. From hair wash to car wash it can clean anything and everything.
Bioenzymes are produced from the fermentation of organic waste like fruits, vegetables, flowers, leaves etc. The idea was first introduced by Dr. Rosukon Poompanvong from Thailand to cultivate enzymes into organic cleaners, from organic waste that goes into garbage bins.
These natural cleaners are highly cost effective when made at home. If every household utilised their garbage to produce garbage enzyme, it can stop kitchen waste from polluting our land and meanwhile generate enough ozone gas to ease global warming. You can help change the climate!
Steps to make Bio-enzymes
- Add 10 parts of water, 3 parts of Organic waste and 1 part of jaggery in an airtight plastic container.
- Remember the ration 10:3:1
- Eg. for 1 litre container in approximation, add 60g of Jaggery + 180g of organic waste + 600ml of water and cap the container tightly.
- Mix all and keep the container at room temperature. Always maintain 20% free space.
- It takes 90 days to produce bio-enzymes. For the first 30 days, keep releasing gases by opening the lid few times daily. Recap the lid tightly as and when you open the lid to release gases.
- After releasing the gases, keep the container in an airtight position for the next 60 days and only release the gases, if necessary. After the 90th day, you will see a white layer on the surface and the peels settling down. This indicates that the Bio-enzyme is now ready to use.
- Strain the contents to separate the clear liquid and the thick pulp. Use airtight plastic bottles to store the clear liquid and the thick pulp. Save the thick pulp to use as a started to start the next batch which will reduce the number of days in producing Bioenzymes.
How do they work?
- It uses non-pathogenic, “good” bacteria to digest wastes, soils, stains and malodors.
- The bacteria do this by producing enzymes that break down certain molecules (wastes/soils) into smaller pieces.
- These smaller pieces become “food” for the bacteria. The bacteria consume these soils and break them down into two basic compounds: carbon dioxide and water.
- The bacteria grow in number and continue to consume the waste until their food supply diminishes (the waste is gone).
Household Uses:
Although many people are sceptical and believe that such a simple solution cannot replace powerful detergents and chemical products, user testimonials say quite the opposite. Its use is manifold:
- Cleans and disinfects all surfaces in the household
- Effectively removes salt scales
- Effectively breaks down grease, stains and various other impurities
- Separates pesticides and other chemical coating from fruits and vegetables
- Helps eliminate harmful pathogens
- Disintegrates mold
- Cleans and freshens clothing and footwear
- Purifies the air
- Eliminates odors
- Acts as a natural pest repellent
- Helps in regeneration of the soil and contributes to the health and growth of plants
- Nourishes the skin and hair of pets
- Helps in the fight against roaches, temites, flies and mosquitoes
- Eliminates electromagnetic radiation
- Protects the environment
- Purifies ground water
