Frequently Asked Questions

How much does enzyme washing fade the color?

Slight fading is natural and part of the desired effect. Specify your target tone in advance and we adjust the parameters accordingly.

Can it be combined with stone washing?

Yes. Enzyme and pumice stone can be used together for a stronger abrasion effect. Contact us for a combined service quote.
