The research on the pineapple as an effective effective stain remover on clothes c lothes !t aimed to prod"ce stain remover o"t of a cheaper material and a nat"ral prod"ct that can be fo"nd at home as a s"bstit"te to a commercial stain remover The prod"ct is effective and nat"ral than the other brands of a stain remover for  clothes To prod"ce the #pineapple as stain remover for clothes$% the researchers first first ga gath there eredd all the the mat mater erial ialss an andd e& e&"i "ipme pment nt's 's ne neede ededd for the the st"dy st"dy The The prep reparatio ationn (as to prod"c "cee an eff effecti ctive stai stainn remo move verr for for clo clothe thes that the e)perimental pineapple as stain remover for clothes is incomparable to commer commercia ciall stain stain remov remover er in terms terms of its clean cleaning ing an andd cost cost accep accepta tabil bility ity *ineapple (aste is a by+prod"ct of the pineapple processing ind"stry and it consists of resid"al p"lp% peels and s,in These (astes can ca"se environmental environmental poll"tion if not "tili-ed *ineapple .Ananas comos"s/ is a fr"it (hich (as classified as a ripe and "nripe This (as "s"ally gro(n in a place (here temperat"re and the (eather  are cold The researchers cond"cted the st"dy on *ineapple and a,ing Soda as a stain remover The researchers gathered all information abo"t the said st"dy  Ananas comosus) combined The researchers therefore concl"de that *ineapple  0 Ananas (ith ba,ing soda as an alternative stain remover is efective% tho"gh it still needs a little scr"bbing before some stains disappear *ineapple contained moderate o)alic acid The researchers have observed that the cloth can become cleaner  or the stain can disappear completely if it is scr"bbed li,e the (ay everyone scr"bs their la"ndry clothes ased on the specific findings% even tho"gh the home+made stain remover  is comparable to the prod"ct sell in the mar,et even tho"gh it has some more implication
