What the Heck Is Amylase?

Hey Dad,  Let’s Talk Amylase

Alright. I see you, standing there looking at that spaghetti splash on your kid’s white shirt like it’s the Mona Lisa of stains. Or maybe you’re eyeing that dried mac & cheese fossil welded to the car seat. Before you sigh and reach for the bargain-brand cleaner that just smells clean but doesn’t do clean; hear me out.

There’s an unsung hero in your DadMode arsenal called Amylase. It’s not fancy. It’s not loud. But it’s the enzyme that takes starchy messes and shows them the door.

Let’s break it down.

What Is Amylase?

Amylase is an enzyme (fancy word for a protein that breaks down stuff). Specifically, Amylase breaks down starches and carbs. The stuff in bread, pasta, rice, cereal, potatoes, and pretty much every snack your kid crumbles into the back seat.

Basically, when you see a dried-up food stain that’s sticky, crusty, or weirdly glued onto your kid’s sleeve; there’s probably starch in there. And that means Amylase is your new best friend.

How Does Amylase Work in Cleaning Products?

Most “mystery food” messes are loaded with carbs. Plain soap and water can only do so much,  they rinse the surface but leave the sticky starch molecules behind. That’s why stains keep coming back, and odors stick around like a bad houseguest.

Amylase swoops in and breaks those starch molecules down into tiny bits that rinse right out in the wash or with a wipe-down. Pair it with other enzymes like protease (for proteins) or lipase (for fats) and your bottle becomes a full-on bio-cleaning squad.

Why Do Cleaning Products Use Amylase?

Because life’s messy and kids + carbs = never-ending snack stains.

Here’s why DadMode packs Amylase into its cleaning products:

• Obliterates food stains from pasta, cereal, bread, and potato-based disasters.
• Prevents stickiness that traps dirt and turns into “mystery crust.”
• Helps knock out odors at the source by removing the gunk bacteria love.
• Works with other enzymes for a total stain smackdown.
• Safe for fabrics, furniture, car seats, rugs;  you name it.

Is Amylase Safe for Kids, Pets, and Dad’s Favorite Cargo Shorts?

Totally. Amylase is so safe it’s actually used in food processing and even in your own saliva. Yep, your spit naturally contains Amylase to help break down carbs. (Science is neat.)

The DadMode version:

• Non-toxic and biodegradable
• Won’t wreck fabrics or surfaces
• Totally fine for homes with kids and pets

Just don’t drink it or spray it on your pizza to make it “low-carb.” Nice try, Dad.

Got a kid who’s a snack monster? Keep a bottle of DadMode Deep Stain Remover handy. Pre-treat those mashed banana shirts, ketchup explosions, or rogue spaghetti splotches before tossing them in the wash. Amylase loves to work while you nap. Or pretend to nap.
