McKesson Multi-Enzymatic Cleanser, for Surgical Instruments, Eucalyptus Spearmint Scent, 1 gal, 1 Count, 1 Pack

I use it for pre-soaking my laundry, specifically to break down sebum oils
As luck would have it, I inherited overactive sebaceous glands (similar to sweat glands) from my dad, and my laundry has long suffered as a result. The sebaceous gland produces sebum, which is the primary component of body oil. Typically most people can simply wash out body oil by using very hot water and a detergent that breaks down oils.For some reason, my sebum is different and does not break down using either of those methods. How do I know? Because although I wash with plenty of detergent on the hottest setting, after a couple years all of my sheets and T-shirts begin to smell rancid. Yep, you read that correctly: rancid. The oils trapped in the fabric have begun to break down, and ‘spoil’.But oddly, rancid oils, presumably broken into smaller chains of proteins, are no easier to remove. After exhaustive research, I found that there is acknowledgement within the detergent industry that typical detergents will not break down all types of sebum. Some detergents claim to include enzymes that break down protein-based smells and stains. However, it should be noted that both heat and detergent tend to break down enzymes. So enzymatic detergents are sort of a contradiction.Still, enzymes are the key to breaking down proteins, but the enzymes need to be allowed to do their job away from heat and harsh detergents.And then there is the question of ‘which enzyme is effective at breaking down which protein?’ There are a multitude of enzymes out there for laundry purposes, but most are not effective at breaking down sebum and the waxy fatty acids associated with them.Sebum actually breaks down into fatty acids known as lipids, and these lipids are broken down by the lipase family of enzymes. There are actually many types of lipase enzymes that each target a particular type of fatty acids. One lipase enzyme can usually catalyze about 10,000 reactions per second; meaning that a single lipase enzyme can initiate the breakdown process of 10,000 fatty acid molecules, per second!Only a small amount of enzyme can produce a large effect on the solution because each enzyme is reusable so many times. But most detergents contain only 0.4 to 0.8 percent crude enzyme by weight, and most detergents do not contain the lipase enzyme.This McKesson Multi-enzymatic Cleanser, which includes Lipase, is the closest thing I have found that is effective at breaking down sebum. How do I know? Good question. Because when I run out of McKesson, and do a load of laundry, it smells awful, and I end up having to re-wash it all after the McKesson arrives.How do I know that I am not simply smelling the eucalyptus scent that was added to McKesson’s cleanser? Another good question; Because, long after the scent has dissipated, the laundry still smells fresh, with no discernible scent. And furthermore, because no added scents or perfumes in detergents have ever been able to hide the stench of old sebum on clothes and bedding.It would seem that one of the enzymes used by McKesson’s is effective at breaking down sebum. But be forewarned, the enzymes in McKesson’s begin to break down themselves at 72 degrees Fahrenheit. Let me clarify: just as enzymes can break down proteins, the enzymes themselves can also break down due to heat. And, once the enzymes break down, they are no longer useful to break down anything else. So store your McKesson’s in a cool, dark room. Okay, it doesn’t have to be dark, although I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt.

Hospital type cleaning at home
I love using just a little bit per ultrasonic cleaning. Because of medical issues I needed to clean nail instruments to decrease the risk of infection. Works well. Pls note that you will need a different solution for ultra- sounding jewelry.
