Just an update about the protein stain. The one I used initially - Milo drink, was rejected because the proteins were highly soluble in water, which left me scrambling for another suitable stain. After yet further research (!!), I decided on using meat juice, which supposedly had a mixture of both soluble and insoluble proteins, depending on the type of meat. To extract the meat juice, I squeezed a huge slab of thawed beef steak (in an plastic bag) and collected the juice that flowed out. It was absolutely disgusting, gruesome and bloody! Yucks ... the things I do in the name of Science! I'll be putting the pictures up very soon, so watch for them - they are indeed a sight to behold! After having said that, the beef steak was actually delicious! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of my dinner.
One more thing I forgot to mention is that I've changed the terminology of my cleaners from so-called 'natural' cleaners to 'home remedy' cleaners. As Ms Tan so rightly pointed out (Thanks, Ms Tan! :D), only 3 of my cleaners were actually 'natural' - baking soda, lemon juice and vinegar. Hydrogen peroxide is strictly speaking not, although some dubious web-sites did classify it as one. >< The things these 4 agents do have in common are that they are all recommended home remedy cleaning agents, which are environmentally friendly. In case you are wondering, 3% hydrogen peroxide is actually not toxic as its name suggests, and is environmentally friendly as it breaks down readily into its components - oxygen & water! In fact, it is recommended as the greener alternative to chlorine bleach.
That's all for the time being. See you soon!
