An Overview of Enzyme Wash Applied on Garments

Enzyme Wash:

Enzyme wash is a bio-catalytic method where an ultra soft handle effect can be produced on garments. The hydrolytic effect of enzyme causes the loss of surface fiber, which improves surface smoothness and softness of the Garments. Cellulose enzymes are natural proteins which are used in garments washing to achieve stone wash look on the garments without using any stones or by reducing the use of pumice stone. Cellulose enzymes remove the indigo presents in the surface layer of fiber.
