 Thanks so much!

I have made citrus enzyme cleaner and it is better than any commercial cleaner to clean the house - absolutely everything - bathrooms, loos, glass, floor and utensils and kitchen. Even a cleaning help was fascinated with the product and said that it is gentle on skin and cleaner than any bought product and even cleaner than organic brands. Only clothes cannot be washed. I havent tried using it in the dishwasher as of now.

but surely the fermentation still releases methane, which is the claim you are making that you are stopping happening by taking it from landfill...huh?

Excelente video !!

De este proceso también sale as alcohol, ?

what is the name of the branding?

Just because it's from fruit and it's 'enzymes not harsh chemicals' so therefore it's 'totally safe' just goes to show how little people understand. These enzymes, particularly bromelain will absolutely destroy your skin. Arsenic is 'natural', so is cyanide, and many other compounds that can kill you. Most 'drugs' and 'chemicals' are refined versions of natural chemicals...

Half the absolute BS you stated with 0 scientific backing blows my absolute mind. Who are you AOC democrat? Methane a POWERFUL EARTH WARMING GAS. Lmfao it doesn’t warm anything bud. Literally a clean natural environmental gas that is super beneficial to life on earth. 😂 get over yourself global warming is a scam and a democrat false flag gambit that failed the minute you research it. I am an actual environmental scientist with 4 PH.Ds and a founder in an elemental ground breaking study and up for the Nobel award. You are completely asinine.

Where can i order this product? And what is the brand name?

Brilliant idea!

From home, why not put them in a juicer or use to make pineapple vinegar...heck make pineapple wine...

Quanto a espalhar para o mundo é um tanto difícil, pois as indústrias químicas seriam sua maior inimiga,é igual a indústria farmacêutica não tem interesse em ajudar ninguém, nem o ser humano nem a natureza, só pensão em dinheiro, e o resto que morra.

Wached a soap making video and she used the outer layer and blended with the pineapple and strain and used in her soap

Great report. Thank you

This seems promising, but the soap industries will not let this happen. Ya I know?!??

The rinds could also be fed to pigs.

very good idea! My teacher give me one project, about how I produce detergent from wasteproduct ? please can you help me?

Me sitting here looking at my pineapple on the counter… 😊

You can even drink your cleaning solution 😮🎉😊

Pineapple wine 🤪

Make booze with it

I ❤ 🍍

Is he starting a side line as s drink too ?

I'm no tree hugger, but i loved this man's life work.

Thats so annoying. People throwing crap in trash. When someone wants it "that will be 5 bucks"

Good luck.

No hippie crap for me thank you 😂

Years ago, I worked in a business work that happened to be next to the Dole pineapple plant, Honolulu. Coming and going, there was the stench of rotting pineapple waste. Somehow, I still love pineapple. I hope this type of cleaning product becomes more mainstream.

Someone send this fast to the middle east !!

He really didn’t have to drink that 💀

NOPE 👎

I want to clean with pineapples! Where in London can I buy this!

it makes 0 sense why they wouldn't be composting all these scraps.

No, and why would we need it too?

Knowledge is power necessity is the mother of all inventions May God bless this person for sharing his knowledge and educating the world that conservation through utilization great video thanks for sharing it ❤🌱🇵🇰

This is amazing! Kudos to this man and his amazing passion for making our lives better!

this is a drink in Mexico called tepache super good

I'm confused. Why care about something that compostes. If it was to be made of plastic 😮

You can make good wine from it.

I too try this

Soap is a base. Vinegar is sour - an acid. You cannot replace a base with an acid.

Good job for transforming waste into useful products! The alcohol in the fermented product would be the active ingredient for bactericidal/virologic properties. During COVID days this product would have been ideal. However, for laundry purposes, I can not see the usefulness of the enzymes because enzymes take a long time to do their job.

"1 type of bacteria" ... so after using clorox, killing 99.9% of bacteria, use this to kill that extra 0.1%! 😂😂

Yes

what an amazing idea❤ can perhaps this be done with other fruits or vegetables perhaps?

Very great idea sir from bharat

In Lampung, Indonesia, we have pineapple plantation and factory to export pineapple in can. Then, they extract some enzymes products. The wastes, go to cattle farm to feed them, mix with many other materials. Then the cattle wastes, used as plantation fertilizer.

It’s VINEGAR. It’s just fermenting long enough to become vinegar, which is known to be an effective cleaner. Good PR win to get exposure like this to sounds like an entirely new invention 👏

Thank my friend

huh, whenever I peel a pineapple I just toss the peel in a jar of water with some piloncillo (loaf sugar) for a week and make some tepache to drink!
