Each has been formulated to meet a variety of soil and stain removal, bleaching, fabric softening and conditioning, and disinfectant needs under varying water, temperature and use conditions. Detergent is the primary dirt remover and there are different types available. The choice is a matter of personal preference and individual needs. Detergents differ in formulation and in characteristics such as sudsing, density, and level of scent. We offer two laundry programs that utilize enzyme technology, both a liquid and a solid.
Enzymes break down soils into simpler forms that can easily be removed by the cleaner.
Amylase facilitates the removal of starch containing stains, e.g. from pasta, potato, gravy, chocolate and baby food. Dried-up starch is difficult to remove at medium to low temperatures. Amylase adheres to the surface of laundry, acting as an adhesive for other stain components. Amylase hydrolyzes the starch into dextrins and sugars which are readily dissolved in the washing liquor. The enzyme hydrolyzes triglycerides into mono-and diglycerides, glycerol and free fatty acids, all of which are more soluble than the original fats.
