A method of washing dishware in a dishwasher comprising the step of delivering into the dishwasher: a) a first composition comprising oxygen bleach and substantially free of enzymes; followed by b) a second composition comprising enzymes wherein the first composition has a pH of at least 11 and the pH of the first composition is at least 1 pH unit greater the pH of the second composition wherein the pH is measured at wash concentration at 20 C.

An automatic dishwashing detergent composition comprising: a. at least 0.1 mg of active protease per gram of composition, wherein the protease is a variant of a protease that has at least 70% identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1. wherein said variant comprise variations in one or more of the following positions: 32, 33, 48-54, 58-62, 94-107, 116, 123-133, 150, 152-156, 158-161, 164, 169, 175-186, 197, 198, 203-216 as compared with the protease in SEQ ID NO:1; and b. at least 0.05 mg of an active low temperature amylase per gram of composition.

Liquid detergent compositions are disclosed which comprise one or more shell-core capsules types. The core comprises one or more enzymes, wherein the material that forms the shell is able to be degraded by at least one of the enzymes. The capsules preserve the activity properties of the enzymes during the storage of the liquid detergent composition and they release the ingredients upon the application of shear during the use of the liquid detergent composition in a washing process. The methodology also enables the presence of incompatible benefit agents in the same product, and the reduction of undesirable residue on the articles that are being washed.

The application relates to stable, anhydrous dish soap formulation.

A neutral or acidic automatic dishwashing detergent composition including a pH regulator system and a cleaning agent selected from the group consisting of cleaning surfactants, soil suspending polymers and mixtures thereof wherein the weight ratio of the pH regulator system to the cleaning agent is from 3:1 to 1:1 system and wherein the detergent composition includes from 0.01% to 5% by weight of the composition of a perfume.

A detergent composition comprising: (a) a polypeptide having alpha-amylase activity comprising or consisting of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:1, or a fragment thereof which exhibits alpha-amylase activity; (b) a polypeptide having protease activity; or concentrate or additive for making the same.

A solid, particulate composition including, based on the total weight of the composition, a) 20 to 95 wt. % of at least one water-soluble carrier material selected from hydrous salts of which the water vapor partial pressure corresponds, at a specific temperature in the range from 30 to 100 C., to the H.sub.2O partial pressure of the saturated solution of the salt; b) 0.1 to 20 wt. % fragrance; and c) 0.01 to 20 wt. % of at least one wash-enhancing compound. The invention further relates to the use and a method for the preparation of a solid, particulate composition.

The invention provides layered granules comprising a core and a matrix coating surrounding the core. The matrix comprises a biological active and a non-volatile liquid, and may be applied using a fluidized bed spray coater (fluid-bed coating). The granules exhibit reduced release of biological active dust, such as enzyme dust, after subjecting the granules to mechanical stress.

The present invention relates to compositions such as cleaning compositions comprising enzymes. The invention further relates, use of compositions comprising such enzymes in cleaning processes.

The present invention relates to lipase variants and compositions comprising (i) at least one surfactant and (ii) at least one lipase variant of the invention. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods of using the compositions.
