The feasibility of cogon grass as a shoe shiner
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY An easy and practical way to make your shoes shinier with the use of alternative plant. A shoe polisher can be a wax or a cream that can be applied directly to shoes. Applying shoe polish will not only just make your shoes shine but it also protects your shoes from any liquid substance especially during rainy days. Shoe polish is usually flammable, can be toxic, and, if misused, can stain skin. It should be used in a well-ventilated area with care taken to protect clothes, carpet and furniture. After discussing, the researchers came up with the possibility of Oregano leaves (Oreganum vulgare) extracted as an alternative shoe polish. Oregano contains high amounts of two essential oils that are useful in processing leather hides. Thymol and carvacrol, also present in other herbs such as thyme, are strong antibacterial and anti-fungal agents used to treat finished leather products as well. While using oregano leaves themselves as a leather polish isn't common practice, doing so would produce a clear sheen--if you don't mind your leather smelling like an Italian salad.
Using Oregano leaves (Oreganum vulgare), the researchers would like to increase the production of shoe polish at lesser cost and with the same quality as the commercial one and making it useful as well as affordable to everyone.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This research study was conducted to prove that Oregano leaves extract can also be an alternative shoe polish and to know its difference from other commercial shoe polish product in terms of:
a. Shininess of the shoes
b. Repellency of shoes from water
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study is made to prove that there are many simple yet practical ways to make
