Why use enzymes?

Quite simply, they get the job done. Green Irene has tried many “green cleaners” that use different approaches to remove harsh or toxic chemicals from their formulations, but has never been thrilled with their job performance. To really get the job done, we always end up with an arsenal of toxic chemical-based cleaners. Until now. Enzymes clean better than toxic and non-toxic detergents, acids and alkalines. Both green and chemical cleaners use the same fundamental approach — acids break down alkalines, and alkalines break down acids. Toxic chemicals work well because they’re strong acids and alkalines, and green cleaners are typically less effective because they’re weaker acids or alkalines.

What are enzymes and
how do they work?

Enzymes are large protein molecules found in all living things. They are nature’s workers, speeding chemical processes and rapidly biodegrading materials like grease, foods, oils and grime into their basic elements like carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Plus, enzymes completely remove (not just mask) odors by breaking down the organic materials that are causing the odor.  The key is finding the right enzymes suited for each task.
