Background
Significant progress has been made in the study of enzymatic applications in the cleaning industry, particularly in relation to surface cleaners. The introduction of enzymes into these formulas advances the evolution of biodegradable cleaning agents, offering substantial advantages, especially in terms of environmental safety. The specificity of enzymatic action enhances the cleaning efficacy, enabling enzyme-based cleaning agents to effectively break down stubborn stains and deposits. Proteases, lipases, amylases, and cellulases are among the commonly utilized enzymes, each targeting different types of dirt and stains, contributing to a comprehensive cleaning solution.
