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).!

What enzymes are in biological washing powder?
Enzymes in washing powder are catalysts (they speed up reaction without being used themeselves). They bond with a particular molecule only. 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.
What is non-bio washing powder?
Non-bio washing powder means that it doesn't break down like bio-degradable cleaning products do. This is important to know if your home has a septic tank, because over time, these powders form chunks in your septic tank that can not be passed through the tank and into your septic field. In the United Kingdom, Non-Bio washing powder means that the detergent does not contain enzymes. See the wikipedia link below for more information.
