Proteins, starches, and pectins are found in many everyday stains. Medley® Essential 200 L targets them with a blend of protease, amylase and pectate lyase enzymes. In Medley® Essential 200 L, three best-in-class enzymes work in synergy to deliver cleaning to the core.
Protease to target protein
Protein is found in sweat, blood, grass, chocolate, dairy products and milky drinks like tea, coffee and chai. Protease breaks down the protein in these stains, making it easier for the detergent to lift it from the fabric.
Amylase to target starch
Starch is a key ingredient of foods like ready-made sauces, baby foods, dressings and desserts. It also acts as a glue for other dirt particles in the air and in wash water, making starch stains even more noticeable. By breaking down starch, amylase helps the detergent wash away these stains.
Pectate lyase to target pectin
Fruit including berries, bananas and avocadoes, as well as many vegetables naturally contain high levels of pectin. Pectin is also added as a thickener to jams, jellies, yoghurt drinks and smoothies to thicken. It’s even used in some cosmetics. Pectate lyase breaks down pectin to help detergents remove all sorts of pectin stains.
Multi-enzyme synergy
Most everyday stains are multi-layered, with each element in the stain forming a layer. That means an enzyme’s access to its target element can be ‘blocked’. By clearing paths through the stain’s layers for one another, the enzymes in this product boost one another’s impact. The result is high performance on a wide range of everyday stains, along with color care and whiteness benefits.
This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.
Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.
Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
- Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
- In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
- IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
- If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or a doctor
