Here’s the garbage enzyme formula:-
1kg Black/Brown Sugar
3Kg Kitchen waste (Fruits skin/vege/pandan leaves, don’t use meat, else it will be very smelly!!)
10 litre of water

If you have more kitchen waste, say 6kg, then you should use 2kg of black sugar and 20 litre of water. Just calculate accordingly.

any air tight plastic container/bottles will do

Black Sugar

My aunt’s friend got this from a fruits seller in the market. we can’t possibly eat so much fruits lar!! hehe..

let’s see how heavy is this.. it’s 12.5kg!!

We will need 10 litre of water for every 3kg of kitchen waste, therefore, our 12.5kg will need about 40 litre water and 4kg of black sugar.

First, dilute black sugar (4kg) in water (40 litre), then add in all the kitchen waste/fruits skin. If you want it to smell better, add in more lemon/orange peels and pandan leaves. You can add in anything you want, as long as it’s vege and fruits. Preferably no meat cos it will be very smelly.

cut the fruits/skin into small pieces

Close it tight, place at cool, dry and well ventilated area and avoid direct sunlight. Keep it for at least 3 months (the longer the better, it will not expired) and remember to open daily to release gases for the first month.

After 3 months, filter and remove the residue. You can reuse the residue again for a new batch of production by adding fresh garbage or you can buried the residue in the ground as a fertilizer.

These garbage enzyme are ready for use!!

The garbage enzyme should be in brown color, if it turned black, add in the same amount of sugar and start the fermentation process all over again. You may encounter white, brown, and black layer (or even worms) on top of the enzyme during the fermentation process. Do not worry, leave it as it is and the chemical reaction will resolve them naturally.

So how useful is the garbage enzyme? Well well well…When you mop the floor, add a small cap of enzyme into the water and you will see a lot of dirt comes off. You can also used it to wash the toilet bowl and trust me, it will be sparkling clean!! Add some enzyme into your glass cleaner and your mirror will be shiny and clean.

It’s best to use on oily stuff, i used to have a hard time cleaning the kitchen’s hood cover (the one that filter the oil) but the enzyme makes my life easier. I tried soaking the cover into water with detergent and enzyme, gently rub the cover and tah-dah, no more oily cover!

The garbage enzyme is really an excellent cleaning tool. You can also add some into your shampoo or body shampoo or whatever you can think of. Well, I really can’t think of a reason why you should not make the garbage enzyme.

Let us all save the earth through garbage enzyme!!
