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

can create a successful cleaning solution that is beneficial to both man and

that we are trying to solve is being able to successfully create the cleaning
solution we are looking for, using the peelings of citrus fruits, and being able
to compare which among the three is the best cleaning solution. Hopefully,
III. HYPOTHESIS:
POSITIVE:
If the best out of the three kinds of cleaning solution will be chosen and be
NEGATIVE:
If the best out of the three kinds of cleaning solution will not be chosen and
will not be made using improvised yet organic materials then an ecological
friendly solution acting to clean all types of furniture will not be produced.
In our time now, the environment of our world is getting worse and
worse most especially our ozone layer, which is continuing to be thinner and
thinner. One of the causes of this tragic reality is some of the chemicals and
hydrofluoric acid that can be corrosive and a hazard not only to humans but
also to the environment. So the main goal of the group is to improve the

In the project, the group plans to make a cleaning solution that will
both benefit the people of the world plus the environment using only the juice
of citrus fruits coming from its peelings as its main ingredient. The specific
fruits that will be used for this investigation are lemon, calamansi/Philippine
lemon and orange. Both baking soda and vinegar will be the substance used
as the substance to kill and repel the bacteria. Other materials of the same
kind will also be used. If the planned materials are not available then similar
