The present invention relates to a chemical product and process for cleaning nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes, based on enzymatic action aiming to remove biofouling and inorganic scale quickly. The product mentioned in present invention also proposes elimination of the neutralization step of the chemical product used, given that the enzymatic action allows an adequate pH for disposal to be maintained, which fact increases the speed and efficiency of the process.

The present disclosure relates to a liquid surfactant composition containing a surfactant mixture, water and at least one amylase as defined herein. The present disclosure also relates to a method for cleaning textiles including providing a washing liquor by dosing a liquid surfactant composition, mixing this dosage into at least one solvent, and bring the resulting mixture into contact with the textiles.

The present invention concerns a detergent composition comprising one or more anionic surfactants; an enzyme selected from the group consisting of: a protease, a lipase, a cutinase, an amylase, a carbohydrase, a cellulase, a pectinase, a mannanase, an arabinase, a galactanase, a xylanase, and an oxidase; and a deoxyribonuclease (DNase).

The invention concerns a detergent composition, comprising: a) from 2 to 95 wt. %, preferably from 2.5 to 50 wt. %, more preferably from 5 to 50 wt. % of a citric acid ester derivative of a monoglyceride of the form: —wherein one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 is selected from a C.sub.16 to C.sub.18 fatty acid chain; and one or two of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 is selected from citric acid, the remainder, if any, being OH; and, 10 b) from 0.0001 to 5 wt. %, of further laundry ingredients selected from: perfumes, protease enzymes, amylase enzymes, cellulase enzymes and preservatives; and to a domestic method of treating a textile comprising treatment of the textile with an aqueous solution of 0.15 to 20 g/L of the detergent composition of the first aspect of the invention.

##STR00001##

A cleaning composition comprising deoxyribonuclease enzymes, an additional enzyme and a cleaning adjunct, methods of making such cleaning compositions and methods of treating surfaces such as fabrics or hard surfaces with aqueous liquor comprising such compositions.

The present disclosure relates to detergent compositions comprising subtilase variants exhibiting improved stability and/or improved wash performance in liquid detergent and methods for obtaining such detergent compositions. The variants are suitable for use in e.g. cleaning or detergent compositions, such as laundry detergent compositions and dish wash compositions, including automatic dish wash compositions.

The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a polypeptide having alpha-amylases. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods of using the detergent compositions.

An article is provided including an aqueous liquid detergent, and a package for the aqueous liquid detergent which is in direct contact with the aqueous liquid detergent, wherein the package is formed from a water-soluble, film-forming material. The aqueous liquid detergent includes at least about 40% by weight of water based on the total weight of the aqueous liquid detergent, a builder comprising potassium carbonate, wherein the potassium carbonate is present in an amount of at least about 25 weight percent, based on the total weight of the aqueous liquid detergent, a first surfactant, wherein the first surfactant is an anionic surfactant, and a second surfactant, wherein the second surfactant is a nonionic or an amphoteric surfactant. The first surfactant and the second surfactant are present in a combined total amount of about 0.1% to about 25% percent by weight based on the total weight of the aqueous liquid detergent.

Disclosed are variants of a cellulase having improved stability in the presence of a protease, and the use of such variants in laundry.
