What the Heck Is Cellulase?

Let’s Talk Cellulase, Because Grass Happens

Alright Dad,  here’s the scene: you mow the lawn in your “good” shorts, your kid slides into home plate face-first in their only clean pants, or your dog rolls in the yard and then jumps on the couch. Suddenly, you’re dealing with stubborn grass streaks, dingy elbows, and dirt ground deep into fabric fibers.

Soap alone? Meh. It’ll rinse the surface but that deep-down plant gunk stays behind making your clothes look rough after every wash. That’s where Cellulase comes in.

What Is Cellulase?

Cellulase is an enzyme (another tiny protein superhero) that breaks down cellulose, the stuff plants are made of. Grass, dirt, and wood-based fibers cling to your clothes by bonding with the fabric’s own cellulose. Cellulase breaks those tiny plant particles apart so they can rinse out easily.

Bonus: Cellulase also smooths out tiny fuzz balls (micro-pilling) that make your hoodie or sweatpants look old and tired. Fresh fabric for the win.

How Does Cellulase Work in Cleaning Products?

Grass, mud, and outdoor messes stick deep in fibers because of cellulose. Regular soap scrubs the surface but can’t bust up the sticky plant fibers clinging to the weave.

Cellulase goes in at a microscopic level, breaking those bonds and lifting the dirt away. The result? Clothes stay cleaner, colors stay brighter, and your “good” shorts survive another lawn mowing.

Why Do Cleaning Products Use Cellulase?

Because dirt happens. Grass happens. And you don’t want to look like a swamp monster every time you pick up your kid from practice.

DadMode packs Cellulase into our formulas because:

• It destroys grass and plant-based grime that soaps alone smear around.
• It helps fabrics stay smoother and newer looking by gently removing micro-fuzz.
• It works with other enzymes (like Protease, Amylase, and Lipase) to tackle complex messes in one go.
• It’s biodegradable, non-toxic, and easy on your favorite clothes.

Is Cellulase Safe for Kids, Pets, and Dad’s Lawn Mowing Shorts?

Absolutely. Cellulase is used in everyday laundry detergents and fabric care products around the world.

• Safe when used as directed
• Non-toxic and biodegradable
• Won’t wreck delicate fabrics
