Which of the following statements about enzyme detergent is NOT true?

Enzyme detergents are primarily formulated to break down organic materials, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, making them effective in cleaning applications, particularly in laundry and dishwashing. They send enzymes to work on stains and residues, allowing for more thorough cleaning.

The statement claiming that enzyme detergent is an antiseptic is not accurate. While some detergents may have antibacterial properties, enzyme detergents specifically target organic substances rather than directly acting as antimicrobial agents. The primary function of these detergents is not to disinfect but to enhance cleaning by facilitating the breakdown of dirt and stains.

The other statements highlight valid characteristics of enzyme detergents: they do help in breaking down organic materials, are effective against various stains that contain such materials, and some formulations can be considered gentle enough for different skin types—although safety can vary based on individual sensitivities or specific formulations.
