RECOMMENDATION• The researchers would want to recommend to the people

the following:

• They can also use any kind of Detergent Soap to be able to make the floor polish have a good scent.

• The researchers recommend to just buy ½ kilo of paraffin wax enough for all the experiments that may be done in order to save more money.

• Use steel molding tray in order to avoid plastic ones from melting because of too much heat from the coconut oil.

• If necessary, use gas stoves other than using charcoal in order to save more time and to turn the coconut milk into oil faster.
