ANALYSIS OF DATA
The anilla E)tract at the fastest stain diminished time o"t of all At the instant that it met (ith the pineapple% the stain (as remar,ably less visible !t didn't ta,e 2 min"tes for the stain to disappear The rest of the stains left a mar, after ; min"tes Some% li,e the hot chocolate and ,etch"p% left a clear mar, b"t it disappeared (hen the researchers scr"bbed it
16
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

S7MMARY
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 4n 17
>"ly the researchers started to cond"ct the st"dy% started to have the brain storming and gathering information's The researchers tested different trials in testing if the combined mi)t"re is effective The trial of the mi)t"re did it (or, in removing the stains
ONL7SION
The researchers therefore concl"de that *ineapple 0 Ananas comosus) combined (ith ba,ing soda as an alternative stain remover% tho"gh it still needs a little scr"bbing before some stains disappear *ineapple contained moderate o)alic acid
REOMMENDATION
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 The researchers s"ggest that other fr"it e)tract may be tested as ingredient for ma,ing alternative stain remover An additional steps or proced"re
18
can be devised to improve the effectiveness of the stain remover and for the improvement of the prod"ct To f"rther improve the st"dy% the researchers recommends the follo(ing 1 The researchers st"dy is effective to the people (ho are finding sol"tion in removing stains nat"rally 2 ?sing pineapple and ba,ing soda may not be li,e the other e)pensive prod"cts b"t this can also be considered as one of the efficient method for the prevention of stain ; !t is f"rther recommended that a similar st"dy be cond"cted "sing other materials in preventing stain L 8ore test sho"ld be done to obtain more acc"rate res"lts
