Let’s Talk Pectinase

Your kid swears they’ll eat healthy, so you make them a strawberry smoothie. Two sips in, half of it’s on their shirt, the other half is dripping into the car seat. Or maybe they dropped jelly toast face-down on the couch. Fun times.

Here’s where Pectinase steps in. Forget scrubbing for hours or throwing that shirt in the trash this enzyme slices through fruit messes like it’s harvesting grapes at warp speed.

What Is Pectinase?

Pectinase is an enzyme, basically a molecular tool that breaks down pectin. Pectin is the natural substance that makes fruit firm and helps jam gel. It’s why fruit messes dry sticky and stubborn. Soap alone can’t break pectin — but Pectinase can.

So instead of smearing the stain around, Pectinase breaks that sticky stuff into tiny bits that rinse out with ease.

How Does Pectinase Work in Cleaning Products?

Sticky fruit messes are a parent’s nightmare. The sugars trap dirt, the pectin glues it down, and suddenly that cute fruit snack turns into a fabric fossil.

Pectinase goes deep,  breaking pectin bonds so the stain can’t cling. Combined with other DadMode enzymes such as Protease for proteins, Amylase for starches, Lipase for fats it creates a dream team that tackles the full buffet of snack-time chaos.

Why Do Our Cleaning Products Use Pectinase?
