What is enzymatic cleaning?
Enzymatic cleaning is a method of cleaning that uses enzymes to break down organic materials and soils. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions, breaking down complex molecules into simpler forms.
Enzymatic cleaners are more environmentally friendly and biodegradable than traditional cleaners. They have many benefits, including:
• Effective at removing tough stains and contaminants
• Can be used in hard-to-reach areas
• Can be used on a variety of materials
• Can be used in healthcare and animal care facilities
• Can be used in the home to clean restrooms, carpets, fabrics, and more
Enzymatic cleaners can contain different types of enzymes, such as proteases, amylases, and lipases, each of which targets different types of soil. Enzymes work with bacteria to break down soils and malodors. The bacteria then consume the broken-down materials, and continue to multiply and clean as long as there is soil and the surface is damp.
