ABSTRACT

The growing concern over environmental pollution and health hazards caused by chemical-based cleaning agents has led to increased interest in eco-friendly alternatives. This study focuses on the formulation and evaluation of a homemade phenyl using egg-based components, specifically utilizing egg white and shell derivatives, combined with natural antimicrobial agents and essential oils. The objective is to develop a sustainable, cost-effective, and biodegradable floor cleaner with disinfectant properties suitable for household use. The prepared formulation was evaluated for key parameters such as pH, antimicrobial activity, cleaning efficiency, stability, and shelf life. Comparative analysis with commercially available phenyl products indicated that the egg-based phenyl exhibited comparable, and in some cases superior, performance in terms of microbial inhibition and surface cleaning. The findings suggest that waste egg materials can be repurposed into value-added cleaning products, promoting both environmental sustainability and public health safety.
