The laundry of linen in hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, and other places always faces multiple industry pain points. High-frequency use leads to complex and diverse stains on linen, such as blood stains, sweat stains, food oil stains, and medicine stains, which repeatedly appear. Traditional detergents rely on high temperature and high alkaline environments to barely remove these stains, but they accelerate the aging of linen fibers, causing problems such as yellowing, hardening, and damage, significantly shortening the lifespan of linen. At the same time, the excessive use of chemical detergents not only increases washing costs but also poses a burden on the environment due to the discharge of wastewater, which is not in line with the current development requirements of green laundry. In addition, some linen still retains odor and poor softness after washing, directly affecting user experience and becoming a core problem that plagues practitioners.
The emergence of enzyme preparations has provided an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for the linen washing industry, and their advantages are particularly prominent in practical applications. Compared to traditional chemical detergents, enzyme preparations, with their specific catalytic properties, can function at room temperature and neutral pH, achieving deep decontamination without the need for high-temperature heating, effectively reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the mild conditions of action do not damage linen fibers, delaying the yellowing and hardening of linen, extending its service life, and reducing replacement costs. Enzyme preparations are inherently non-toxic and harmless, easily biodegradable after washing, leaving no residue on linen, and also reducing wastewater pollution, aligning with the green and environmentally friendly industry trend. Furthermore, the efficient decontamination ability of enzyme preparations can reduce the total amount of detergent used, further lowering the washing costs for enterprises.

Alkaline protease is a "weapon" for treating protein-based stains. Common stains on linen such as blood, sweat, and milk mainly consist of proteins. Alkaline protease can precisely break down the peptide bond structure of proteins, decomposing them into small molecules that are easily soluble in water. Even at low temperatures, it can effectively remove these stubborn stains, making it particularly suitable for washing hospital bedsheets, hotel towels, and other linen.
Lipase focuses on solving oil and grease stain problems. Food oil stains on restaurant tablecloths, hotel placemats, and cosmetics grease on some linen can be specifically degraded by lipase. It can penetrate into the fibers, decompose oil into glycerol and fatty acids, thoroughly remove stains without leaving residues, and prevent yellowing caused by repeated washing of linen. In the washing of linen in hotels and catering establishments, the application of lipase can significantly improve the cleanliness of linen.
Alkaline cellulase plays a dual role of "maintenance" and "brightening" in linen washing. Over time, the surface of linen fibers can develop fine fuzz, making the linen appear worn, dull, and prone to dirt adsorption. Alkaline cellulase can gently decompose these aged microfibers, remove the lint on the surface of linen, and restore its soft touch and original color. At the same time, it can open the fiber structure, helping other enzyme preparations and detergent ingredients penetrate, enhancing the overall decontamination effect, and giving old linen a "refurbished" appearance.
In practical applications, the combined use of these enzyme preparations can achieve a "1+1>2" cleaning effect, effectively cleaning cloth with mixed stains. Nowadays, more and more cloth washing enterprises have solved multiple challenges such as stubborn stains, aging cloth, and environmental compliance by introducing specialized enzyme preparations, achieving a dual improvement in cleaning efficiency and economic benefits. Choosing the appropriate enzyme preparations has become an inevitable choice for the upgrading and development of the cloth washing industry.
