At Suta, caring about our surroundings and trying to live consciously is something that we give utmost importance too. Sujata and Taniya have switched to bio-enzymes and make their own enzymes at home and it has been a beautiful switch for them.

So, this blog is all about what bio- enzymes are and why you too should make the switch for the benefit of your loved ones and for this planet. Bio-enzymes refer to solutions with natural bio-enzymes that can be used for household cleaning and various other cleansing needs. It is prepared by fermenting fruit and vegetable waste along with sugar in a certain proportion. This solution is all-natural and does not contain any harsh chemical detergents that affect our health as well as the environment adversely. It really is a miracle liquid that can be used for various purposes. It is so versatile that from cleaning surfaces in the house to working as a natural pesticide in gardens, there is very little that it can’t do. It can be used in homes to keep pests away, it can be used to clean limescale build-up on taps and other appliances and it can even be used to de-clog drains. What else are the advantages of embracing this miracle liquid?

It is truly salvation from the nasty chemicals Being extremely versatile, bio-enzymes can replace almost all of your store-bought liquids and detergents which are laden with dangerous chemicals such as ammonia phosphates and nitrates
