Transfer during laundry

A German scientist, Otto Rohm, was the first to patent the use of enzymes in laundry in 1913 [91] but it was not until 1930 that the use of pancreatic enzymes in presoak solutions became popular in the detergent industry. However the application of peroxidases in laundry to prevent back staining is very recent. A peroxidase-based system for the inhibition of dye transfer during washing with laundry... 

TAML activators may also be applied to the laundry field, where most bleach products are based on peroxide. When bound to fabric, most commercial dyes are unaffected by the TAML -activated peroxide. However, random molecules of dye that escape the fabric during laundering are intercepted and destroyed by the activated peroxide before the dye has a chance to transfer to other articles of clothing. This technology prevents dye-transfer accidents while offering improved stain-removal capabilities. Washing machines that require less water will be practical when the possibility of dye-transfer is eliminated.
