Enzyme cleaners are cleaning products that help break down stains, which are perfect for cleaning stains from the carpet including red wine and coffee stains and pet messes, and for cleaning tough stains from clothes and fabrics such as blood stains.

Enzymes naturally occur in fruits such as pineapple, papaya and kiwi. Pineapple is high in bromelain, an enzyme that helps break down proteins, aids in digestion, and in relieving allergies such as hayfever.

If you’re looking for a non-toxic enzyme cleaner, make your own at home using pineapple stem and skin, which is packed with enzymes.
