Dirty floors affected by dirt, dust, and debris provide a conducive environment to reproduce and lead to human health problems. Floor cleaners are the solution but most of them are chemical based. In the oil palm industries, most of the empty fruit bunches become waste products and these by product can be converted to other beneficial products. NatMag Cleaner, Natural Magnificent Cleaner is a multipurpose floor cleaning product made mostly of natural ingredients. It cleans stains and repels insects. The main material is the wastes of empty fruit bunches of the palm oil trees which are dried and burnt to ashes and then mixed together with blended curry leaves, pandan leaves and fragrant lemon grass. The ashes have the ability to clean heavy dirty stains. The fermentation of cellulose in the ashes can break down protein and lipid in stains.
