Enzymatic cleaning

Enzymatic cleaning utilizes enzymes—natural proteins that speed up chemical reactions—to break down organic materials like dirt, grease, and stains. These enzymes target specific substances; for example, proteases work on proteins, lipases on fats, and amylases on starches. This method is effective because enzymes can clean without harsh chemicals, making it safer for people, surfaces, and the environment. Commonly used in laundry detergents and cleaners, enzymatic cleaning is not only efficient but also promotes sustainable cleaning practices by relying on naturally occurring processes rather than just mechanical scrubbing or chemical solutions.
