Household cleaning products are commonly used worldwide to enhance cleanliness and hygiene. Most household cleaning products marketed commercially today are very expensive, unaffordable and contain toxic and harmful chemicals. Some may even damage the cleaned surface through corrosion or abrasion. The aim of this study was to produce eco-friendly household cleaning products from locally available materials. The study was carried out in Omuku, Rivers State. The population was made up of all 182 housekeepers and working mothers across the five school of the Federal College (Technical) of Education and 15 hotels. The stratified random sampling technique was used to sample 102 working mothers and housekeepers. Household cleaning products such as liquid soap was produced from local materials such as orange, lemon, tangerine, coconut oil, and palm ash. Toilet cleaner was formulated from ginger and aloe vera extracts and activated carbon while floor wash was made from local gin, liquid wash, alcohol, lemon and sodium chloride. The products were subjected to sensory acceptability. A nine Point Hedonic Scale questionnaire was also constructed and administered to the respondents for data collection. Mean rating was used to analyze the research questions and sensory evaluation and Z-test was used to analyze the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the study revealed that the locally produced household cleaners were acceptable in terms of quality. The respondents’ response differed with respect to the colour and the odour of locally made household cleaners especially the locally produced liquid soap. The study also revealed that the locally produced household cleaners differed from commercial ones only in terms of colour. The result therefore indicates the potentials of utilizing locally available materials for the production of non-toxic, natural and environmentally safe household cleaning products.

The COVID-19 outbreak has overly emphasised the importance of handwashing with soap to reduce the spread of the virus. This study was conducted to formulate a liquid hand soap with neem oil and lemongrass essential oil as an natural antibacterial component. Three different concentrations of neem oil 5%; 10% and 15% and three different concentration of lemongrass essential oil (0.2%; 0.4%;0.6%) were formulated as liquid soap using coconut oil, castor oil and neem oil as its soap bases. The natural liquid soap was made by saponification reaction between oils and potassium hydroxide. The soap was evaluated for its pH value, density, foam stability, insoluble in alcohol content, free fatty acid and antibacterial activity. The results showed that the colour of the liquid soap was transparent with yellowish colored and had distinctive smell of neem oil. The pH values of the different formulated liquid hand soaps are within the accepted pH range of 4 - 10. The specific gravity was 1,083 – 1,088 g/ml. The foam stability range was 25.35% - 78.38%, respectively. The insoluble in alcohol content range were 0.14 – 0.4. The free caustic alkali range was  0.12 – 0.47.  The liquid hand soap can inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus. The inhibition zone diameter of liquid hand soap was 1.98- 2.61 cm. It was therefore proven that neem oil and lemongrass essensial oil is effective as an antibacterial component in the formulation of liquid hand soap.

Synthetic antimicrobial agents, like triclosan, used in many cosmetics are now associated with serious health problems, beginning with skin irritation to cancer. This calls for alternative antimicrobial agents. Many plant extracts have the potential to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and perhaps kill them and thus can serve as alternative antimicrobial agents in cosmetic formulations. To demonstrate this, a hand-washing liquid soap was prepared in the presence of varying concentrations of aloe vera extract and tested in-vitro against common skin microbes. First, a liquid soap paste was prepared by saponifying a vegetable oil blend containing olive oil (80.0 %w/w), coconut oil (14.3 %w/w) and castor oil (5.7 %w/w) with aqueous KOH solution (22.5 %w/w) at a relatively high temperature (200 °C). Second, the soap paste was diluted with distilled water in the presence of varying concentrations (0 to 66.67 %w/w) of aloe vera extract to obtain hand-washing liquid soap samples, with the extract acting as an antimicrobial agent. Third, the liquid soap solutions were characterised in terms of foaming, wetting and cleansing abilities and the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the fungus Aspergillus flavus. These were compared with those of a commercial (Astonish) hand-washing liquid soap sample containing triclosan (0.1 %w/w) as an antimicrobial agent. The liquid soap solutions exhibited excellent foaming, wetting and cleansing abilities, similar to the commercial liquid soap solution. In addition, the liquid soap solutions gave an average zone of inhibition between 9.0±0.3 mm and 11.0±0.2 mm for S. aureus, 7.0±0.1 mm and 10.0±0.2 mmfor P. aeruginosa and also inhibited the growth of the fungus A. flavus. These results compare favourably ( p= 0.05)with the commercial liquid soap solution, which gave an average inhibition zone of 9.00±1 mmfor both bacteria and also inhibited the growth of the fungus. This indicates that aloe vera extract can be used as an antimicrobial agent in the formulation of antimicrobial hand-washing liquid soap and other related products, rather than synthetic agents which are inherently harmful.
