Professional laundry

70% of laundry professionals in the lodging industry say stain removal is their biggest challenge.

According to an Ecolab study, a typical 150-room hotel spends roughly $18,750 a year on linen replacement – about 25% of overall laundry costs. With stain removal powered by enzymatic detergents, hotels can cut rewash rates, extend the life of their linens and towels, save money, and reduce energy and water consumption.

Imagine how much more valuable your detergent can be to customers with Novozymes enzymes.

Enzymatic detergents can:

• Remove tough stains with targeted action
• Work for an extended period on dirt and stains until broken down and removed by the wash water​
• Deliver high performance even at low water temperatures
• Provide a safer clean, powered by nature

Layers of tiny, intertwined threads called "fibrils" make up many fabric fibers. Over time, some of these fibrils get damaged during wash and during wear. Shorter, damaged fibrils trap dirt, making colors look dull and whites look gray. Longer fibrils stick out, twist together and cause pilling.

Novozymes' cellulase technology gently cuts both the short and long fibrils on the fabric surface — so fabrics look and feel like new for longer.

Cellulases also make towels feel softer and retain more water in use, which hotel guests appreciate. They are ideal for use in both laundry detergents and fabric conditioners.
