Looking for a detergent that is effective but gentle ? Ecozyme enzymatic detergents and softeners are designed to remove stains at low temperatures , protect fabrics, balance skin, and reduce environmental impact.

Why choose enzymes?

Enzymes are biologically active catalysts that specifically break down the structures of different stains (proteins, fats, starches). This allows for cleaning at 30–40 °C , energy savings, and the elimination of aggressive additives .

In short:

  • Effective even at low temperatures

  • Protects colors and fibers

  • Gentle on skin (free from dyes and harsh chemicals)

  • Subtle, long-lasting clean scent

Water hardness: does it matter?

Yes. Detergents may be less effective in hard water. Ecozyme formulas are designed to maintain performance , but correct dosage is still essential.

Tip: If your water is hard, stick to the upper dosage limit indicated on the label. Do not overfill the enzymes – they work precisely and efficiently without excess.

Dosage reminder

  • For everyday laundry: follow the standard dosage.

  • For heavily soiled fabrics: select the upper dosage limit.

  • For economy mode/short cycles: do not exceed the norm – enzymes work even in short cycles.

  • Fabric softener: add when you want even more softness and a pleasant feel .

An additional trick: before washing , apply the concentrate topically to the stain and leave it for a few minutes - this is often enough without aggressive bleaches.
