This study aims to investigate if the powdered gumamela leaf, coconut oil,
and candle can be a good alternative floor wax. Specifically, the study identifies
alternative floor wax; and find out that the powdered gumamela leaf in different
feasible substitute for commercial floor wax and showed effective results in
enhancing its texture, odor, and gloss when applied to the floor. The components
of gumamela leaf helped with the texture, while the coconut oil contributed to the
gloss and the candle acted as the solidification agent. The alternative floor wax is

The type of floor wax you should use will depend on the type of floor you
have. Solid paste wax contains more wax and less solvent, making it more
laborious to apply to floors. The benefit of solid paste wax is that you don’t need
to wax your floors as often. Liquid wax, on the other hand, contains more solvent,
making it easier to apply, but floors require more coats than solid paste wax.
When choosing the best wax for your floor, choose a solvent-based wax instead
of a water-based or acrylic wax because these can discolor finished floors and

gloss was evaluated visually under controlled lighting conditions to get the data
on the glossiness. The pH levels of the floor wax samples were measured using
a pH digital meter, with the probe inserted into each sample to obtain accurate

Conclusion
Based on the results of the study, the researchers concluded that
oil, and 10 grams of a candle as floor wax are the most effective and feasible
substitutes for commercial floor wax and showed effective results in enhancing
their texture, odor, and glossiness when cleaning floors. The components of
gumamela leaf helped with the texture while the coconut oil contributed to the
gloss of the floor wax and the candle acted as the solidification agent. The
Recommendations
Given the results of the study, the researchers recommend that further
