Application of Eco-Friendly and Enzyme Based Stain Removers in TextilesAbstractThe purpose of the study is to investigate the environmental impact of chemical stain removers, detergents, and review critically enzyme-based stain removers as an alternative to replace synthetic surfactants in textile industry. It also highlights some of the chemically based stain removers, which are eco-friendly and could be used as stain removers. Literature review reveals that the usage of enzymebased products in industrial and household chores is growing day by day. Previous Research findings also indicate that enzyme-based products exhibit high efficacy in eliminating stubborn stains, while maintaining fabric integrity, which contributes to their popularity among environmental conscious consumers. Moreover, the adoption of these products can result in reduced water and energy consumption during laundry, leading to further environmental benefits. There are six kind of enzyme that are currently used in various industry; Oxidoreducers, Transferases, Hydrolysers, Lyases, Isomerizers, and Ligases. In these, hydrolysers enzymes like proteases, lipases, amylases, and cellulases are popularly used in washing industry. The paper discusses their mechanisms of action on stains and how it increases the rate of reaction. Overall, this review highlights the environmentally responsible choice of enzyme-based detergents and stain removers over conventional chemical-based alternatives. By replacing synthetic surfactants in the textile industry and promoting the utilization of eco-friendly stain removers, this study advocates for sustainable practices in cleaning and laundry, offering significant potential for reducing the environmental impacts associated with these processes.Keywords: Detergent, Environment, Enzyme, Mechanism, Surfactant, Stain Remover
