Unlocked: How Enzyme Cleaners Hold the Key to Better HVAC Hygiene

Multi-enzyme cleaners harness the power of biological enzymes—specialised molecules that accelerate chemical reactions—to target and break down contaminants with precision, following a lock-and-key model where each enzyme fits a specific type of residue. When sprayed onto a surface, these cleaners introduce beneficial bacteria that rapidly multiply and begin producing enzymes. These enzymes initiate the breakdown […]
