Stonewashing is an important process in the denim finishing or garment processing of denim industry. The stone wash effects are produced by the use of cellulases enzymes or pumice stones, individually or partially. The present paper investigates the influence enzymes wash treatments under various levels of time and liquor concentration on physical properties (weight loss and strength) of denim fabric. Overall moderate dose and time is found most suitable for end use requirement. As regards to the enzymes type, Ultima LV 100 (Denykem) retained maximum strength. Cellulases U (department of Biochemistry, University of Agricultural, Faisalabad) showed satisfactory performance for warpwise and fillwise tear strength respectively as well as regarding weight loss.
