Abstract
Ancient textiles can suffer from aging, deterioration, and events that deeply influence their original beauty and ethnological and economic value. The environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, light exposure, microbial contamination) that artifacts encounter during their lifetime strongly influence the value of the item, including those in the exhibition rooms of the museum, which are essential for proper preservation. Therefore, it was necessary to find an effective and safe method to clean these important archaeological materials. This method depends on enzymes, especially in their immobilized form, so that this method is economical, as the immobilized enzyme can be reused several consecutive times.
