This study attempted to determine the effectivity of Calamansi extract mixed with Bilimbi extract in removing different stains. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: What is the effect of the following treatments as stain remover in terms of different stains in such as fish blood, mud and coffee:Treatment-1: Calamansi Extract;Treatment-2: Bilimbi Extract; and Treatment-3: Calamansi and Bilimbi Extract?  And is there any significant difference among treatments on the effectivity as stain remover when used in different stains?

         The researchers hypothesized that there is no any significant difference among treatments on the effectivity as stain remover when used in different stains.

This research utilized a quantitative experimental research design of study that focused on the comparison among bilimbi extract, calamansi extract and bilimbi mixed with calamansi extract as a stain removal and determine which one was more effective than the other when applied when on different stains such as fish blood, mud and coffee.

The T:3 - bilimbi and calamansi extract obtained the least mean of 38.52 seconds means the most effective stain remover than the other two extracts. Followed by the T:1 - bilimbi extract obtained an overall mean of 45.51 seconds. While, the T:2 - calamansi extract obtained the highest overall mean of 53.42 which means less effective than the two extracts.

The One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) confirmed that there is no significant difference among treatments on the effectivity as stain remover when used in different stains. Therefore, the researchers’ hypothesis which states that “there is no significant difference among treatments on the effectivity as stain remover when used in different stains” there is no significant difference among treatments on the effectivity as stain remover when used in different stains” was accepted.

            Based from the results and findings of this study the researchers concluded that bilimbi extract, calamansi extract and the mixture of these both extracts are effective in removing stains on cloth. It was confirmed by the ANOVA that there is no significant difference among treatments on the effectivity as stain remover when used in different stains. Therefore, the researchers’ hypothesis was accepted. Hence, this study confirmed the result of the study conducted by Sarabi, Daud A., et. al. (2020) entitled “the acceptability of calamansi mixed with bilimbi fruit extract as an alternative stain remover”.
