The present disclosure relates to a solid, enzymatic detergent compositions and methods of making and using the same. In a preferred embodiment, the detergent compositions are particularly useful for cleaning medical and dental instruments. In a preferred embodiment the compositions are particularly use for cleaning ware.

An aqueous cleaning composition for removing paraffin, asphaltene, and scale deposits or plugs from a hydrocarbon system. The aqueous cleaning composition is formed of a cleaning composition and an aqueous liquid. The cleaning composition contains about 21-33% of a silicate, about 20-35% of a peroxygen, about 3-15% of a phosphate, about 15-40% of a carbonate or bicarbonate, about 1-10% of a chelating agent, about 1-5.5% of a surfactant combination. In one embodiment, the surfactant combination includes a surfactant polymer mixture containing a block polymer and a reverse polymer, and a wetting agent containing a sulfonated material or an ethoxylated alcohol.

A method of making detergent granules, wherein the detergent granules comprise: (i) an alkyl sulfate (AS) having a branched or linear unalkoxylated alkyl group comprising from 6 to 18 carbon atoms; (ii) an amphoteric surfactant; and (iii) a water-soluble inorganic salt, wherein the method comprises the steps in sequence: a) preheating the AS paste at 50?80? C., and then b) adding the water-soluble inorganic salt into the AS paste with agitation at 50?80? C. to form a mixture, and then c) adding the amphoteric surfactant into the mixture at 50?80? C. to form a mixed paste, and then d) drying the mixed paste to form the detergent granules.

Described are compositions and methods relating to the removal of oily stains from fabrics and other surfaces using a lipase in combination with a selected surfactant to mediate the release of fatty acids generated by the lipase. The compositions and methods have application in, e.g., laundry cleaning and dishwashing.

A cleaning composition, which is self-adhering upon application to a hard surface, is provided. The cleaning composition includes an adhesion promoter, water and a sufficient amount of a basic agent, such that a mixture of the composition with deionized water has a pH of at least about 10. The adhesion promoter typically includes one or more organic compounds, each containing at least one hydrophilic group. The cleaning compositions may also include at least one surfactant selected from the group of: anionic, nonionic, cationic, amphoteric, and/or zwitterionic surfactants; where one or more of the surfactants may serve all or in part as the adhesion promoter.
