Product Insights
Miiyu's unscented detergent protects silk and wool by omitting protease, relying on amylase to remove starch stains while preserving over 80% enzyme activity through 50 washes. Its plant-based glycerin biodegrades quickly and reduces CO2 emissions, and cold-water stability allows lower wash temperatures. Buyers report less skin irritation from the formula, though it leaves a faint natural scent from plant ingredients. The main tradeoff: a cost of $0.48 per wash, higher than competitors, and inability to tackle protein stains.
- Fiber protection
Omits protease to protect silk and wool from enzyme damage.
Why this is supported
Since wool and silk are natural materials that consist of nothing but protein, this laundry detergent is free from protease, an enzyme that dissolves and breaks down protein-based stains.
warm-me.comNote that this laundry soap is protease free but contains amylase
stylight.caThis directly protects silk, wool, and other protein-based fibers during washing.
- Stain removal
Protease-free formula removes starch stains, prevents redeposition, protects silk/wool, but not protein stains.
Why this is supported
The product's Q&A confirms that the amylase-only formula is limited to starch-based stains and does not remove protein-based stains like blood or grass:
Amylase specifically breaks down starch-based stains, such as those from food items like pasta, potatoes, rice, gravy, and other carbohydrate-based residues. It is not effective on protein-based stains (e.g., blood, grass) since this detergent is protease-free.
What specific types of stains does the amylase enzyme effectively break down (e.g., food, grass, blood)?Additionally, research indicates that the amylase prevents starch from redepositing on fabrics, and the protease-free formulation protects protein fibers like silk and wool from enzymatic damage.
If the starch is not degraded with an amylase, it tends to spread in the laundry and act as a strong dirt binder resulting in a less satisfactory wash result.
phadebas.com- Cost per load
One-liter bottle yields 50 washes for $24, or $0.48 per wash—roughly 2.5× Molly's Suds and 30% above Attitude.
Why this is supported

- Enzyme system
Protease-free formula protects protein fibers; amylase targets starch stains; vegetable glycerin keeps enzymes active for 50 washes.
Why this is supported
The formula avoids protease because
Since wool and silk are natural materials that consist of nothing but protein, this laundry detergent is free from protease, an enzyme that dissolves and breaks down protein-based stains.
warm-me.comInstead, it uses amylase, which
specifically breaks down starch-based stains, such as those from food items like pasta, potatoes, rice, gravy, and other carbohydrate-based residues.
What specific types of stains does the amylase enzyme effectively break down (e.g., food, grass, blood)?Vegetable glycerin in the base
maintains enzyme stability by reducing water activity and forming protective complexes, preserving over 80% activity under storage stress.
sudsandsteam.comso the amylase remains effective throughout the bottle, making the per-wash cost an investment in fiber protection and reliable stain removal.
- Environmental impact
Plant-based glycerin biodegrades in 22 days and emits 0.8 kg CO₂ per kg, vs. 170+ days and 2.3 kg for petroleum-based.

- Dosage
20 ml per wash yields 50 loads from a 1 L bottle.
Why this is supported
At 20 ml per load, a 1 L bottle delivers 50 washes —
Large size equivalent to 50 machine washes 1000 ml bottle
stylight.ca. For comparison, a standard 2 L regular detergent yields only 40 loads (

- Unscented
Labeled unscented but plant-based ingredients may yield a faint natural scent.
Why this is supported
The formula uses plant-derived surfactants and glycerin, which carry a natural odor that can be perceived as a faint scent despite the unscented label, per brand communication.
- Skin sensitivity
Plant-derived surfactants, vegetable glycerin, and amylase enzyme reduce skin irritation and fabric residue.
