The enzymes break down the molocules in the stains, like the enzymes in your body break down molocules in food. Some people prefer this to chemical alternatives, while others may be allergic to some of the chemicals used, so they use washing powder comtaining enzymes instead (called biological washing powder)
Hope this helps!
