Lipases for grease, oil and fat stains

Fast-paced lifestyles mean more fast foods. Unfortunately, fast foods and other oily dishes leave behind stains that are slow to disappear. Lipases in your detergent can help.

Grease stains are tough to remove

Street food and fast food are convenient staples for busy consumers, with demand steadily rising. Yet, these quick bites aren’t always the cleanest choices. When grease from a cheeseburger, mustard from a hot dog, or oil from pad thai lands on clothes, one wash often isn’t enough to fully remove the stains.

A joint YouGov/Novonesis global study revealed that 33% of consumers encounter cooking oil stains during laundry. Especially high levels were reported among Chinese, Spanish, Brazilian, and Indian consumers.

Watch a grease stain disappear

Lipase enzymes attack stains containing fats and oils by cutting lipid molecules into smaller pieces.

These smaller pieces mix more easily with surfactants, boosting the effect of surfactants in detergent and removing greasy stains far more effectively.
