Determine the efficacy of the extract juice compare to borax in terms of time interval (30 minutes and 60 minutes) used cotton and polyester. The study used developmental descriptive-evaluative research design. The finding was the amount of extract from lemon peel produced 1000 ml in kilo. The source had acidic composition.
