    This study aimed to determine if chayote (Sechium edule) extracts could be used as an alternative dirt and stain remover. Three setups were tested on cloths with chocolate, ketchup, and mango stains: pure chayote extract, a mixture of chayote extract and water, and pure water. The effectiveness of each setup at removing stains was observed over 30 minutes. While the pure chayote extract performed best, removing most stains, the researchers ultimately concluded that chayote extract was not effective enough to be a viable alternative dirt and stain remover.

    ABSTRACT

    This study aims to determine the effect of Chayote(Sechium Edule) as an alternative dirt and stain
    remover.Since commercial detergent soap were proven to removed dirt and stain,but the
    reasearcher came up with the idea to used Chayote (sechium edule) extract as an alternative dirt
    and stain remover.trough this study,the people in this society can save money,by just using the
    chayote extract as an

    Three set up were constructed, (1) chayote extracts with water,(2) pure chayote extracts and (3)
    water.Each set-ups were placed stained cloths for 30 minutes.

    There were three trials for each stained cloth and the results of the chayote extraxts as alternative
    dirt and stain remover were

    There are three-set-up were constructed , (1) chayote extracts with water,(2) pure chayote extracts
    and (3) water.Each set-ups were placed stained cloths.There were 3 trials for each cloth and the
    result of the effictivenes of chayote extracts with water were

    After the experiment ,the researchers found out that chayote (sechium edule) are not effective that
    were used in the experiment:chocolate, mango, and ketchup.so the researchers conclude that
    chayote extract is not effective as an alternative dirt and stain remover.

    CHAPTER I

    INTRODUCTION

    Detergents nowadays are commonly used to removed different stains


    attached in clothes. There are different commercial brands where in the people of all walks
    of life may used these brands to remove the irritable stains.

    Background of the study

    Researchers have come up to the point of thinking better solutions or


    alternative dirt and stain remover instead of using expensive commercial products. This
    study aims to propose and form a new chemical substance via observation of experimentation
    of the chemical within the Chayote (Sechium edule) juice extracts and its potential for stain
    removing. If ever Chayote alon is not capable for removing, researchers would try another
    substance to be mixed and have the contents capable to be a stain remover. The researchers
    would be also observing if what specific stain the extract can remove.

    Statement of the Problem

    This study aims to determine if the Chayote juice extracts can be used as
    an alternative dirt and stain remover.

    Moreover, this study seeks answers by this following:

    1. Is Chayote Extract is suitable as an alternative dirt and stain remover?


    2. Can chayote extracts can remove dirt and stain?
    3. How effective is chayote extract can remove dirt & stain compared to commercial
    one?
    Hypothesis:

    Alternative Hypothesis: Chayote (Sechium edule) extracts can be an alternative dirt and
    stain remover

    Null Hypothesis: Chayote (Sechium edule) extracts cannot be an alternative dirt and stain
    remover

    Significance of the study


    This study helps to produce a good quality of dirt and stain remover
    from Chayote ( Sechium edule ) extracts.

    This research provides a great help to people who are financially less
    fortunate because it can be found in our locality. It is also safe for it has no toxic
    chemicals compared to the other stain remover.

    Scope and Limitation

    This study focused only on determining if Chayote extract is an


    effective alternative dirt and stain remover.

    This study had been conducted since from year 2018 to year 2019.
    This long span of time is for the analysis of product and verification of the extract asa a stain
    remover.

    Review of Related Literature

    Chayote ( Sechium edule ) is an edible plant that belongs to the


    gourd family Cucurbitaceae, along with melons, cucumbers and squash. Typically prepared
    as a vegetable, it is in fact a fruit. It can be eaten both raw and cooked. Around the world it is
    known by various names including merliton, christophene and chowchow. It is a member of
    the squash family and is referred to as “ vegetable pear ’’ or chocho.

    METHODOLOGY

    MATERIALS:

    9 Bowls
    4x4 cloths
    Two Five hundred grams of chayote (Sechium edule)
    Peeler
    Knife
    Fork

    PROCEDURE:

    Each three bowls contain 50 mL of pure chayote extracts. While the


    three bowls contain 50ml of pure water and the remaining three bowls contain 50mL
    of chayote and water ( 25mL water and 25mL chayote extract). The nine 4x4 cloths
    was also prepared ( three cloths with chocolate stain, three cloths with ketchup stain
    and three clots with mango stain). The stained clothswere soaked into three different
    setups. Setup A ( three cloths with three different stains - chocolate, ketchup and
    mango) for pure extract treatment. Setup B for water treatment and setup ( for chayote
    extract and water. After 30 minutes the cloths was scrubbed and was observed
    afterwards.
    CHAPTER III

    Result and Discussion

    The researchers chose this study to determine which among the set ups (Pure Chayote
    Extract, Chayote Extract with Water, Pure Water) will be more effective in removing the
    stains (Mango, Chocolate, Ketchup) within 30 mins of observation.

    Table 1 :Results of the Three Set Ups

    As shown on the table the Pure Chayote was effecient in removing the mango and
    ketchup stain with its respective average of four (4) given by the rubrics while the chocolate
    has an average of three (3) which means that the thickness of the stain was partly removed
    and the cloth hygiene was parlty cleaned.

    Chayote Extract with Water received an average of three (3) in mango and two (2) in
    both chocolate and ketchup. In pure water treatment rhe table shows an average of four (4)
    in the chocolate stain while an average of two (2) in both mango and ketchup stain where
    the thickness of some parts was removed and the cloth's hygiene was impure.
    Average Thickness of the stain Cloth hygiene

    1 No changes occured No changes occured

    2 Some part is removed

    3 Partly removed Partly clean

    4 Almost removed Almost clean

    5 Completely removed Completely clean

    Table 2 which is the rubrics for changes of the stain is the researchers basic observing the
    results of the three setups.
