Enzymes

Interesting facts

Enzymes are bio-based cleaning agents that act specifically on certain types of stains. There are different types of enzymes, each of which is specialised in the removal of certain stains and impurities (fat, starch, protein ...). Each enzyme contained in Persil formulas acts as a catalyst and is activated more than once during the wash cycle to completely remove all dirt particles. Even at low temperatures. Regardless of their concentration, enzymes must be indicated on the packaging in accordance with the EU Detergents Regulation.
