Dirt comes in various forms and incorporates proteins, starches and lipids—and what's more, garments treated with starch must be liberated from that starch. Using cleansers in water at high temperatures with vigorous mixing can rid garments of most kinds of dirt. However, enzymes offer a solution to conserve the cost and usage of energy resources while prolonging the shelf life of materials.

Applying enzymes as a washing aid enables laundry cleansers to dispel tough protein-based stains (milk, blood, grass and sweat) with lower temperatures and shorter washing cycles. 

Found in nature and part of our everyday lives, enzymes are active ingredients that enable more eco-friendly, high-performance solutions in the cleaning and laundry spaces. Enzymes target and break down the toughest and messiest stains, whether cleaning or brightening clothing, sanitizing dishes or medical instruments or enhancing at-home or industrial cleaning applications.
