 Thanks so much!
  • As a Vietnamese, I'd like to point out a few things. He got emotional and stuttered when he talked about his wife's suffering. His word choice shows he genuinely cares and believes in his mission. Even the Vietnamese slogan is nice and motivative. That is a solid, respectable man right there.
  • I think it’s fantastic that he locally sources ingredients for his product! Helping your community is one of the most selfless things you can do because it can affect so many.
  • @suzz1776
    This makes total sense. He basically made pineapple vinegar, and we all know we can clean stuff with vinegar, so this is really cool and hope it gets more studies done on it.
  • My dad uses fermented pineapple skin to mop the floor . I actually like the smell. And we water the plant with the water.
  • @cnance1972
    We need more men like him. Wanted to help his wife but thought so big of a fix he made an industry
  • @holyek7892
    This man is a treasure. What a good man.
  • @maiyen83
    I’m so proud to be one of Fuwa distributors. Fuwa have great eco products and wonderful people with big heart. ❤🎉
  • The properties on Pineapple skin is also good for digestion. Everytime I cut a fresh Pineapple, I clean the peel and boil it with ginger and drink the tea. Add honey or agave if you want it sweeter. I'm impressed by this! It proves that everything can be used for something!
  • I want more alternatives like these to be developed and put on the market. The world needs it.
  • @bennetfox
    I already use castile soap and I look forward to something like this becoming more popular!
  • @aviendha1154
    I cannot wait for this to become main stream. I’ve had pretty severe eczema my entire life. My hands are ALWAYS affected, it’s just too hard to limit exposure with them.
  • I used the products from Fuwa. They are great: clean and fragrant naturally
  • @makamsidhura
    Here in India many are preparing bio enzymes at home to replace chemical cleaners We follow d same ratio 1(jaggery): 3(fruit peels) :10(water) Any citrus peels are v effective for cleaning
  • We clean since 3 years with our own fermented apple vinegar. Its the same like his product. Thousand of years people clean with vinegar. Please do more of those videos. We love it!
  • @VictorEstrada
    I love how we keep learning to take care of our planet. If we keep going this route and supporting people like this man, our future generations will praise us.
  • @bonbontalks
    Bio enzyme making has become a popular practice in Indian homes during Covid period. Not sure how many still continue but it is a fairly simple process. 1 part jaggery + 3 parts any citrus fruit peels + 10 parta water :: place them all in a plastic jar together :: remove the lid once a day for the first 3 weeks and then once in every 3 or 4 days. Do the same for a period of 3 months and then strain and use it post 3 months.
  • @Fronken89
    The fact that he shows the process And gives the complete recipe out freely to anyone who asks says alot about him genuinely caring about the issue at hand.
  • As a vietnamese, i am so proud of him and his products to help us protecting environment.
  • @tmford5025
    This is great stuff. I use pineapple skins to make fermented pineapple soda aka Tapeche which pairs nicely with rum in a tall glass over crushed ice.
