Break Down Organic Stains the Natural Way.
Enzyme cleaners harness the power of nature to dissolve organic stains like food, wine, blood or pet stains without scrubbing!
Why Use an Enzyme Cleaner?
Enzymes work fast and are extremely targeted. They break down specific complex organic molecules and soils on contact, yet are not used up themselves. `
Because the enzyme is not used up in the reaction, enzyme cleaners continue to break down soils long after the initial application. As long as the enzymes remain in solution, they will continue to work on stains. That’s why you can spray and walk away!
Enzymes can remain in solution for long periods of time without losing their potency. It can even be reactivated if new stains occur in a previously treated area!
Surfactants vs. Enzyme Cleaners
Surfactant
Enzyme Cleaner
How They Work
Surround dirt and oil, lifting them from surfaces and suspending them in water
Targets specific organic stains (protein, starch, fat) and dissolves them
Pros
Fast acting, good for general grime, emulsifies oils
Deep cleaning, odor elimination, gentle on fabrics, environmentally friendly
Cons
Leaves residue, masks odors rather than eliminating them, harsh on fibers or skin
Slower acting, damaged by extreme heat/acid, might not work on non-organic stains
Best Uses
Surface cleaning, greasy dishes, regular laundry, body/hair washing
Pet accidents, food stains, mold, mildew, drains, and tough organic odors
What is an Enzyme?
Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in organic chemical reactions. That means they speed up a reaction inside a molecule without being used up themselves. Enzymes are not alive themselves, but without them our metabolic process could not happen fast enough to sustain life.
Enzymes are responsible for catalyzing over 5,000 different biochemical reactions. Enzymes do not by cause the reactions they catalyze, but simply lower the amount of energy it takes for those reactions to occur on their own.
Nature's Lock & Key
Enzymes are often described as a “lock” that perfectly fits the “key” of the molecule they work on. Essentially, the enzyme’s structure fits perfectly with a certain section of another molecule, or the binding site. If it doesn’t fit perfectly, no reaction can happen.
When the enzyme binds, it instantly reduces the amount of energy it takes for a specific chemical reaction to happen at a specific spot on the substrate, speeding up the reaction. Once the reaction happens, the enzyme unbinds with the product(s) of the reaction and finds a new molecule to bind with and starts the process all over.
