When it comes to the most frequent types of mess that people make, enzyme cleaner is your best bet because of how effectively it removes odors and stains. While enzyme cleaners do take some time to work, they are the best option for removing bio-based stains from dirt, grass, bodily fluids, and soils, as well as from pet accidents. When compared to other odor and stain removers, enzyme cleaners are typically less expensive and safer. Take a proactive approach to household challenges with enzyme cleaners, which will make your home healthier and cleaner than before.
Proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates can be partially broken down by enzymes that are introduced during pre-cleaning. It is recommended to have an enzyme cleaner ready to use before any instrument is brought into central sterile. Without it, the instrument could dry out with grimy dirt on it, which means it needs to be rehydrated before cleaning—a tedious procedure that reduces the amount of time the enzymes and dirt have to come into contact.
What is an Enzymatic Cleaner?
Healthcare institutions often employ the use of an enzymatic cleaner to assist in the decontamination and cleaning of various medical devices, equipment, and utensils. Enzymatic detergents would be a more accurate description of the enzymatic cleaners used in the sterile processing and endoscopy departments; these cleaners contain surfactants specifically formulated to remove dirt and grime from various devices.
How do Enzymatic Cleaners work?
Enzymatic cleaners are neutral in pH (usually between 6 and 8), which aids in the breakdown of soils. A wide variety of soils can be broken down by the enzymes included in enzymatic cleaners, including proteases, amylases, and lipases. The class of molecules known as proteins includes all known enzymes. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and enzymes, which are complex molecules held together by peptide bonds.
Because of its intricate structure, an enzyme can catalyze soil degradation reactions with less energy than other methods. Rather than driving up and over a mountain, this is more like driving through a tunnel. You reach your destination regardless, but the tunnel makes the trip far more bearable.
Whether an enzyme is present or not, the process of soil breakdown is identical. Enzymes speed up the reaction and reduce the amount of energy needed to break down soil. Enzymes serve as catalysts for reactions because they increase the rate of reaction while decreasing the amount of energy required for it.
Can an Enzyme Cleaner Kill Germs Off Surfaces?
Enzyme cleaners are great for removing organic stains and smells, but disinfection and cleaning alone will eradicate any leftover germs. A thorough disinfection and cleaning will be necessary to eradicate all traces of bacteria, fungus, and certain viruses.
Why Enzymatic Cleaners Are Beneficial
When it comes to cleaning medical devices and instruments, enzyme cleaners offer several advantages, such as:
- Providing a neutral pH environment conducive to organic soil removal and degradation
- Decrease in bioburden
- Restricted mechanical cleaning of inaccessible places
- For fragile instruments, they provide a wider range of material compatibility compared to alkaline chemistries.
More compact and user-friendly packaging is possible because it is effective at lower temperatures and concentrations than detergents.
What Is the Best Way to Use an Enzymatic Cleaner?
Designed for use with garments and other machine-washable materials
After following these easy methods, any stain, whether it’s red wine on a tablecloth or pit stains, should be gone:
#01- Rinse and Rest
Apply Puracy Stain Remover generously to the affected area. Although you should wait at least 15 minutes before washing, waiting at least 8 hours will maximize the effectiveness of your enzyme laundry spray.
#02- Wash away
Scrub the treated area gently using a boar hair detailing brush or an old toothbrush. You may even massage the two together to agitate the cloth. When it comes to silk and other delicate fabrics, we love boar’s hair.
#03- Wash out
Put the item(s) in the washing machine and follow the care directions on the fabric to get a load done. Puracy Natural Laundry Detergent’s four plant-based enzymes completely dissolve any leftover substances that may become stuck in fabric fibers, including perspiration, chocolate, and coffee. Plus, they’re gone entirely thanks to our clean-rinse solution.
#04- Restate if required
Careful, the drying cycle can “bake” the stain into the fabric. Allow the stained item(s) to air dry until you are satisfied that the stain is gone. Go back to steps 1-3 until the discoloration is no longer visible.
