Besides proteases and lipases, the following enzymes are commonly added to laundry sheets, each playing distinct roles in stain decomposition and garment care:
1. Amylase
Function: Specifically breaks down starch-based stains (e.g., rice, noodles, sauces, batter). Amylase decomposes starch molecules into water-soluble small sugars (e.g., maltose), making them easily rinsed away.
Application: Ideal for cleaning clothing stained with food (e.g., aprons, shirts), especially effective on dried starch stains.
Fabric Care: Removes pilling and micro-fuzz caused by friction, restoring fabric smoothness, brightening colors, and softening textiles.
Application: Commonly used for cotton fabrics, jeans, and other pilling-prone garments to extend lifespan.
3. Mannanase
Function: Breaks down mannan (found in plant-based stains like jam, mucus), aiding in the removal of stains containing such components (e.g., sticky residues in fruit juice or coffee stains).
Application: Assists in removing vegetable-based stains like fruit or vegetable juices.
4. Catalase
Function: Decomposes residual hydrogen peroxide (often used in bleaching formulas) to prevent damage to fabric fibers or colors, while reducing chemical residues during rinsing.
Application: Found in bleach-containing laundry sheets to protect fabrics and promote environmental friendliness.
5. Glucose Oxidase
Function: Oxidizes carbohydrates like glucose on fabrics, inhibits bacterial growth, and reduces odors caused by stain residues (e.g., sugar fermentation in sweat).
Application: Suitable for sportswear and undergarments, aiding in removing sweat stains and odors.
6. Cutinase
Function: Breaks down waxes, fats, and polyester-based substances (e.g., oil stains on synthetic fibers, cosmetic residues), especially effective on stubborn stains on polyester or nylon fabrics.
Application: Used to clean clothes made of synthetic materials like polyester or nylon, enhancing removal of tough oil stains.
Synergistic Effects of Enzymes
Multiple enzymes in laundry sheets typically work in tandem: for example, amylase targets starch stains, cellulase aids in removing surface attachments, while proteases and lipases focus on proteins and oils. This composite formula addresses mixed daily stains more comprehensively, balancing cleaning efficiency and fabric protection.
We are especially produce and export the laundry detergent sheets with different formula to meet different requirements from customers, they all have good performance in cleaning ability, ingredient safety, and convenience of use and we could supply you OEM and ODM service.
Warmly welcome friends from all over the world to visit our factory or initiate inquiries online. We will sincerely welcome you.
