The protease enzyme is used in some washing powders. The protease enzyme usually comes from bacteria like Bacillus licheniformis or Bacillus subtilis and can be produced in fermenters which hold many litres of culture medium and bacteria.

Are some types of proteins called enzymes?
Some proteins act as enzymes, yes. Enzymes are just proteins that catalyze (speed up/slow down) reactions.

Why washing powder contain digestive enzymes?
People have been experimenting with ways to use the power of enzymes to clean clothing for a long time because stains are made of different types of molecules, a range of enzymes are needed to break them down. Proteases break down proteins, so are good for blood, egg, gravy, and other protein stains. Amylases break down starches; and lipases break down fats and grease. Washing powders usually only contain one type of enzyme, though some have two or all three. These enzymes degrade or break up large molecules such as fats, producing simpler substances that tend to be easier to dissolve in water (and thus, wash away).!
Why are enzymes used in washing powders?
Because normal washing powder cannot break down some stains. For example, an oil stain on a shirt would not go away in the wash. However, an enzyme called lipase could be added to the washing powder (lipase breaks fat down) and this would break the oil stain down to solube products which would then wash away. A protein stain would require the use of the enzyme protease which breaks it down to amino acids (a soluble product). etc. Using a biological washing powder is also more eco-friendly because it is bio-degradable and because the wash would be at a lower temperature (about 37C) so as not to denature the enzymes (their 3D shape would change and they would no longer be able to work). This saves energy. However babies' clothes should be washed in non-bio washing powder so that the wash can be at a higher temperature and therefore kill bacteria.
