 ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to prove the combination of Banana Peels Extract,

Kerosene and Melted Candle to make an alternative floor wax. The researchers made this

product because the materials are easy to provide Banana Peels Extract have the fragrant that

can be made the floor wax smells good. Then the kerosene has the ability to induce glossiness

to something like floors. Candle can be melt and mix with the right amount of the kerosene

while it is boiling in a can to form into a floor wax.

To make an alternative floor wax the researcher find Banana Peelings to get its

Extract. It is not good to use unripe banana because it is sappy. We use riper banana peelings

because it has more fragrant smell. This product can help other people because if they don’t

have enough money to buy, it can substitute for our commercial floor wax. It can help also to

other people whose floor are not tiles and crusty. When we try to use the product it is a little

bit effective. It is because sometimes the mixture of the ingredients is not properly in a right

amount so that the candle goes back hard as it before. So, try to measure the amount of every

ingredient before they mix.

In some cases, the researchers are not just a people that needed a floor wax. The

researcher just need to think or substitute for what we haven’t. Make a way to be a nice

producer. Most of people have their own knowledge that they can apply in their daily living,

like in our product that the researcher makes a way to make an alternative floor wax to prove

the combination of banana peel extract, kerosene and melted candles. It is better to be

creative not to spend money to buy.
