Redefining hand-dish sustainability and performance – with enzymes

Abstract: Hand-dish washing is a challenging consumer chore compounded by stubborn soils from baked cheese to complex oils found on the average consumer’s utensil, plate and glassware. A conventional approach to removing stubborn soil is applying caustic hand-dish formulation and rinsing dish items with warm or hot water. But this conventional method has environmental impacts such as the energy needed to heat water and lower biodegradability of wastewater constituents. In addition to the environmental impacts, consumers may experience loss of moisture if they spend too long doing hand-dish cleaning. Consumer’s time is precious and it should be better spent doing things that matter the most such as enjoying with family and friends.

Thanks to advancements in biotechnology, enzymes are now optimized to improve hand-dish cleaning solutions. Consumers no longer need to compromise on sustainability or performance as enzymes deliver on both. Beyond providing excellent performance on soil removal, enzymatic hand-dish solutions with protease also deliver on moisture retention to protect consumer’s hands.
