We are given to understand (from the marketing hype) that they break down organic molecules (that may be causing the stains and smells on the washing) into smaller, soluble components.

No, they use enzymes, which are biological catalysts. these are more effective than non-bio, but far worse for your clothes.However i see you put Pool care and cleaning in your subjects. you were probably looking for pool cleaner which is a compound of Chlorine and Potassium to make a soluble salt, very clean and very useful


How do enzymes in washing powders remove protein stains from clothes?

If you magnify or look very closely to the shape of the threads that make up the cloth, they are organized like a series of tiny squares. Stains, such as protein stains, get stuck in these tiny squares. Protein is a large insoluble molecule. An enzyme, such as protease, in the washing powder breaks down this protein into smaller more soluble molecules. The new molecule is soluble, thus when the water in the washing machine rises, or you rinse the piece of cloth, the water dissolves this molecule and carries it away from the cloth. This leaves the square spaces between the threads clean and empty of stains. This means that washing powders with enzymes can efficiently remove protein stains such as blood.


Why do laundry enzymes clean stains better at low temperatures?

Laundry enzymes work better at low temperatures because they are less likely to denature or break down when not exposed to high heat. This allows them to maintain their effectiveness in breaking down and removing stains from clothes even in cold water washing.

What is the difference between regular laundry detergent and biological washing powder?

Regular laundry detergent is designed to clean clothes by removing dirt and stains using a combination of surfactants and enzymes. Biological washing powder, on the other hand, contains enzymes that are specifically designed to break down and remove biological stains like blood, sweat, and food. These enzymes make biological washing powder more effective at removing tough stains, especially at lower temperatures.
