Enzymatic cleaners are designed normally to remove protein deposits. You don't need these relatively expensive cleaners just to remove dirt from a lens dropped on the floor.

Daily disposables probably could be worn more than once but they are usually more susceptible to mechanical handling damage. For many people the benefit of the Daily Disposable is the convenience of not having to clean the lenses anyway, or if they have problems with heavy protein deposits, then Daily Disposables worn once will be better.
