Enzyme wash is a textile treatment process that uses specific enzymes to break down and remove impurities from fabrics, particularly in denim. This method enhances the softness and appearance of the material while also reducing the environmental impact compared to traditional washing techniques. The enzymes used in this process target cellulose, which is a component of cotton. By selectively degrading this material, enzyme wash creates a worn-in look and feel without excessive abrasion. This technique is popular in the fashion industry for producing distressed denim and other garments that require a softer texture and a more vintage aesthetic.
