[Problem] A treatment agent having an excellent ability to remove biofilms and a biofilm treatment method in which the treatment agent is used are provided.

[Solution] A biofilm treatment agent characterized by containing at least A1 and/or A2 below. A1: An aromatic monohydric alcohol. A2: An anthranilic acid analog and a biosurfactant. Preferably, the biofilm treatment agent is characterized by containing at least an aromatic monohydric alcohol, an anthranilic acid analog, a biosurfactant, and a synthetic surfactant.

The invention concerns a detergent composition, comprising: (a) from 0.0005 to 0.5 wt. % of a lipid esterase enzyme; (b) from 2 to 25 wt. % of an alcohol ether sulfate of formula R—(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.nOSO.sub.3H where n is from 5 to 15, preferably from 6 to 15, more preferably from 7 to 15, most preferably 7 to 12; and (c) from 0.2 to 50 wt. %, of surfactant other than the surfactant specified in (b); also the invention concerns a domestic method of treating a textile; and the use of an alcohol ether sulfate of formula R—(OCH.sub.2CH.sub.2).sub.nOSO.sub.3H where R is saturated or monounsaturated linear C16 and/or C18 alkyl chain and where n is from 7 to 15, preferably 8 to 12, to reduce the amount of lipase left in fats on garments after the wash.

The invention provides a detergent composition for the non-oxidative laundering of fabric stains, the composition comprising: (a) from 0.1 to 10% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition) of ethylenediamine-N,N′-bis-(2-hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid (EDDHA) and/or salts thereof, and (b) from 3 to 80% (by weight based on the total weight of the composition) of one or more detersive surfactants.

Consumer and industrial 2-in-1 alkaline ware washing compositions providing both detergency and rinseability in a single cleaning composition are disclosed. Further benefits can be achieved with low levels of rinse aid surfactants in a rinse additive following the alkaline ware washing composition, including levels of rinse additive surfactant of about 500 ppm surfactant or less. Alkaline ware washing compositions and methods of using the same provide user-friendly, solid, ware washing compositions without the need for using a separate rinse aid composition.
