The invention relates to a cleaning tablet for removing wine residues, characterised in that it comprises hydrogen carbonate, citric acid, surfactant, bleaching agent, bleach activator and complexing agent, the common mass fraction of hydrogen carbonate and citric acid in the cleaning tablet lying at 30%-70%, and the molar ratio of hydrogen carbonate to citric acid in the cleaning tablet lying between 1:1 and 4:1.

The present invention relates to lipase variants and methods of obtaining them. The present invention also relates to polynucleotides encoding the variants; nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides; and methods of using the variants.

Improving the cleaning power of liquid detergents and cleaning agents in relation to stains. This is substantially achieved by incorporating a combination of a specific acyl hydrazone and reducing agents.

The present invention relates to co-granules comprising an enzyme and a bleach catalyst and to their use in bleach-containing granular automatic dishwash (ADW) detergents.

Cleaning compositions that include an extracellular-polymer-degrading enzyme selected from the group consisting of endo-beta-1,6-galactanase enzymes, mannanase enzymes and mixtures thereof, a peroxygen source; and a bleach catalyst and methods of making and using such cleaning compositions to provide stain and soil removal and/or malodour reduction.

Disclosed are dishwashing detergents containing the components a) 10-90% by weight of at least one builder b) 0.1-20% by weight of at least one bleach activator c) 0.1-20% by weight of at least one non-ionic surfactant d) 5-40% by weight of at least one oxygen-containing bleaching agent e) 0.1-80% by weight of at least one pH regulator, and f) 0.1-5% by weight of at least one sulfonimine as bleaching catalyst,
with the proviso that the dishwashing detergent does not contain any anionic surfactant and that the percentages relate to the total amount of the dishwashing detergent.

These dishwashing detergents may be used for removing red and/or yellow soiling from bathroom or kitchen articles, preferably from plastic articles.

The invention relates to a bleach catalyst granules containing a metal-containing bleach catalyst, which comprises at least one ligand selected from the group comprising di- or trimethyltriazcyclononanes or derivatives therefrom, and a homo- or copolymer polycarboxylate, salts thereof or partially neutralized having a pH-value of between 3 and 9. Said granules are produced in an anhydrous granulation process, in particular by compacting, the treatment temperature being maintained at below 100 C.

The invention relates to a bleaching-agent co-granule containing a bleach activator, a metal-containing bleach catalyst comprising at least one ligand from the group consisting of di- or trimethyltriazacyclononane and derivatives of these, and a homo- or copolymeric polycarboxylate or its salts or partial neutralizates having a pH in the range from 3 to 9. The bleaching-agent co-granule is obtained in an anhydrous granulating process, preferably by compaction at a temperature below 100 C. The invention also relates to the method of using the bleaching-agent co-granule in dishwasher detergents and to a detergent comprising said bleaching-agent co-granule.

Disclosed is a cleaning composition containing a metal-containing bleach catalyst, a carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and further commonly used cleaning composition ingredients such as a builder, a surfactant, polymers/cobuilders, and an enzyme. Preferably, the cleaning composition does not contain a bleach activator such as tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED). Preferably, the metal-containing bleach catalyst contained in the cleaning composition is a cobalt (Co) containing bleach catalyst or a manganese (Mn) containing bleach catalyst. In the cleaning composition, the carboxymethylcellulose is preferably present in an amount of at least 0.02% (w/w), preferably at least 0.05% (w/w) relative to total amount of the cleaning composition.

The present invention relates to granules comprising a bleach catalyst and to their use in bleach-containing detergents.
