What is Bio-Wash?
Bio-washing, also known as enzyme washing, is a textile finishing process used to enhance the texture, appearance, and comfort of fabrics, particularly those made from natural fibers like cotton.
This process gives fabrics a soft and worn-in feel.
Why Fabrics are bio-washed?
To avoid neps in fabrics, fabrics are bio-washed.
