Enzymatic cleaning is used, for example, for effective pretreatment of cotton. All substances that could affect subsequent finishing steps must be removed.
- The The conventional method , alkaline boiling/beeching, requires large amounts of water, energy and chemicals.
- At a Enzymatic pretreatment , in which enzymes break down impurities and accompanying substances, allows these to be removed at the same time as the sizing agent, i.e. the glue used in the weaving process. This environmentally friendly alternative means that energy- and chemical-intensive cleaning can be completely avoided. Enzymatic cleaning is also a much gentler way of cleaning the fabric.
At LANIUS we mainly use materials that have been cleaned enzymatically and in an environmentally friendly manner.
