What is cellulase?
✓ An enzyme for fabric care
Cellulase is a type of enzyme commonly used in modern laundry formulas to support fabric care, especially on natural fibres like cotton. During washing, tiny loose fibres can lift from cotton fabric and create a dull or fuzzy look over time. Cellulase works by gently breaking down these microfibres on the surface of the fabric.
✓ How it helps your clothes
Reduces pilling (those little fabric balls that build up over time). Minimises fuzz and fabric roughness. Maintains a smoother texture. Helps colours look brighter by removing dull surface fibres.
Why does it matter?
✓ Clothes stay wearable for longer
By helping reduce surface wear and keeping fabric looking fresh, cellulase can help extend the appearance of your clothing over time. Your clothes stay wearable and presentable for longer. This is one of the reasons clothes can look worn faster when washed repeatedly with harsh formulas or heavy mechanical action.
