Non biological laundry detergent is laundry detergent that is made without any enzymes.

While added enzymes can increase the cleaning and stain removal power of a liquid detergents, there are some washable fabrics that should NOT be cleaned with enzymes.

Biological laundry detergent contains enzymes that help to break down common stains, such as food stains, sweat stains, grass stains and grease.

Non biological laundry detergent, on the other hand, does not contain these enzymes and can be more suitable for those with sensitive skin.

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions.

The molecules upon which enzymes may act are called substrates, and the enzyme converts the substrates into different molecules known as products.

Enzymes are proteins that help speed up metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our bodies.

They build some substances and break others down.

All living things have enzymes. Our bodies naturally produce enzymes. But enzymes are also in manufactured products and food.
