The Power of Enzymes Makes EcoSense Laundry and Dish Cleaners Superior
Melaleuca’s EcoSense dish and laundry products are different from many household detergents from the grocery story. EcoSense products are safer, effective, affordable, and eco-friendly. This is in part because enzymes are a safer, effective, and sustainable solution for stain removal, ensuring clean clothes and dishes.
EcoSense and Enzymes
Several EcoSense products use the natural power of enzymes, including MelaPower Laundry Detergent, MelaBrite Color Booster, MelaBrite Plus Oxi, PreSpot Laundry Stain Remover, and Diamond Brite Automatic Dishwasher Detergent. Many grocery store brands use unsafe and caustic chemicals and poisons. Some cleaners may use nontoxic ingredients but just aren’t effective enough.
With EcoSense, you don’t have to choose between safety and effectiveness. Thanks to powerful, natural ingredients like enzymes, you can have both!
Today, enzyme proteins play an essential role in the effectiveness and safety of cleaning products by allowing for a more environmentally friendly and efficient approach to removing stains.
What Are Enzymes?
Enzyme molecules are proteins composed of amino acids. They occur abundantly in plants, animals, microorganisms, and the human body. An enzyme can perform many functions, including speeding up biological processes (like digestive enzymes in your stomach and saliva). These remarkable natural catalysts were first introduced in cleaning supplies in the early 1960s, and they revolutionized the industry.
Traditionally, cleaners have relied on harsh chemicals, but enzyme proteins provide a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative. Today, enzymes in detergents are primarily produced through fermentation processes involving microorganisms. This process not only produces high-quality enzyme molecules but also promotes sustainability by reducing reliance on nonrenewable resources.
The Enzymes in EcoSense Products
MelaPower, MelaBrite, PreSpot, and Diamond Brite feature different types of enzymes specifically selected for their stain-removing capabilities. Let’s look at each type of enzyme and what it does:
Protease breaks down protein-based stains like grass, blood, and eggs. This enzyme is present in EcoSense laundry products, like MelaPower Laundry Detergent, and it effectively removes these stubborn stains, ensuring clothes look clean and fresh.
Amylase specializes in breaking down starch-based stains commonly caused by foods like pasta, potatoes, and baby food. In Diamond Brite, this enzyme tackles these stains and ensures that your dishes are free from food residue.
Lipase targets fats like butter, oil, and oil secreted by human skin. This enzyme plays a crucial role in preventing the appearance of stains even after repeated washes.
Cellulase doesn’t break down things. Instead, this enzyme improves overall cleanness for cotton fabrics by reducing the redeposition of particulate soils such as soot, clay, and rust during the wash. Cellulase also provides fabric and color care, enhancing the longevity of your clothes, and MelaBrite 9x Color Booster uses cellulase for superior color care.
Mannanase sounds like something you spread on a sandwich, but it’s actually an enzyme that excels at degrading stains containing mannans, which are commonly in substances like barbecue sauce, chocolate, ice cream, and toothpaste. Cleaning supplies with this enzyme efficiently remove these stains with impeccable results.
Pectate lyase acts on pectin-based stains commonly found in fruits, vegetables, jams, and other foods containing thickeners. By targeting these stains, EcoSense cleaners ensure a thorough and effective clean.
Transitioning from Harmful Chemicals
Enzymes have blazed a trail from traditional stain-removing chemicals. Phosphates and phosphonates were once used in detergents and other cleaning supplies to combat soap scum and mineral deposits caused by hard water.
However, concern about their negative impacts on water systems, such as excess algae growth, led to these chemicals being phased out of laundry detergents and dishwasher detergents in the United States and Europe. Enzyme molecules maintain performance in cleaners while eliminating the need for harmful chemicals in the home.
Enzymes Are Safe and Environmentally Friendly
Enzyme molecules offer several benefits that make them an environmentally friendly choice for stain removal. Enzymes are effective in mild conditions, so they function at a low temperature and mild pH levels. Being able to wash laundry in cold water not only saves energy and money but also extends the lifespan of clothes and reduces carbon dioxide emissions associated with heating wash water. By enabling low-temperature washing, MelaPower contributes to a more sustainable energy-saving washing process.
What’s more, enzymes are super efficient even at low concentrations. This reduces the amount of product needed and minimizes the environmental impact because concentrated formulas require less packaging and produce less plastic waste. Enzymes in EcoSense products break down into harmless components and pose no threat to the environment.
EcoSense Provides a Safer and Effective Way to Clean
EcoSense products like MelaPower and Diamond Brite are eco-friendly and affordable solutions that don’t compromise on effective stain-removal power. By harnessing enzyme power, these products deliver outstanding results while prioritizing the safety of your home and the environment and saving you money.
Melaleuca is committed to innovation and sustainability, and we do that by providing essential products that clean exceptionally well without compromising your health or that of your family! Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and embrace the power of enzymes with EcoSense products!
