Enzyme Washing
Enzyme washing is a textile treatment process that uses specific enzymes to break down and remove impurities from fabrics, particularly in the denim industry. This method helps achieve a softer feel and enhances the color of the fabric without the harsh effects of traditional chemical treatments.
The enzymes used in this process, such as cellulase, target cellulose fibers in cotton, allowing for a more environmentally friendly approach to fabric finishing. By reducing the need for water and harmful chemicals, enzyme washing contributes to sustainable practices in the fashion industry, promoting eco-friendly alternatives to conventional washing methods.
