Remove stubborn body grime with Novozymes enzymatic solutions
You might not think about it, but body grime is one of the most abundant soils in your textiles and it’s present in every wash load. Learn more about it here.
The invisible challenge of body grime
To the naked eye, your textiles may appear to be clean after washing. But if you take a closer look and dive deep into the fabric fibers, you will find body grime and dirt sticking to the fabric. And because body grime is resistant to traditional detergents, it continues to accumulate in layers. So no matter how many times you wash your clothes or bedsheets, body grime stays put. Unfortunately, laundry detergent and most detergent supplements like laundry sanitizers and fragrance boosters are not able to remove body grime, or mask it completely.
What's the issue for consumers?
Consumers may not think about body grime as such. They don’t see it, hence it’s not top of mind. But what is top of mind is the fact that their clothes easily lose their brightness after wash. That their clothes still smell sweaty. And that they don’t want bacteria in their laundry load or clothes.
The problem with body grime is that it’s sticky. Not only do these body-based soils latch onto textiles that are in touch with your skin, but they trap dirt particles from the surroundings too. And if you don’t remove the root cause – the body grime – new dirt will continue to latch on, and particles that cause odor will continue to grow.
In the end, this all leads to discoloration and smelly textiles.
