The invention relates to dyed particles of a bleach material that comprise a coating. The invention also relates to the use of the dyed particles in detergent compositions.

A detergent composition comprising an enzyme and a bleaching compound and comprising two or more distinct regions, wherein the enzyme is located in a first distinct region and the bleaching compound is located in a second distinct region and further wherein a builder comprising an amino acid based compound and/or succinate based compound is located in the first distinct region. The compositions exhibit improved stability of the enzyme.

Systems, methods, etc., directed to removing or modifying pink-stain in a substrate. For example, removal of pink-stains caused by Streptoverticillium reticulum in marine vinyl, or to enhance the speed, specificity, and efficacy of other bleaching processes of autofluorescent organic stains in those and other substrates.

A composition for sterilization and cleaning which comprises 0.001-30 mass % peracetic acid, 0.001-30 mass % hydrogen peroxide, 1-70 mass % acetic acid and/or salt thereof, 0.001-5 mass % polyoxyethylene lauryl ether acetate or salt thereof, and water, the composition having a pH of 4.0-10.0.

A laundry treatment cartridge that includes a first sub-container and a second sub-container. The first sub-container contains and first laundry treatment composition. The second sub-container contains a second laundry treatment composition that differs from the first laundry treatment composition. The first sub-container and second sub-container are unitarily fixed with the cartridge.

The present invention relates to a an aqueous composition for removing soils from a surface to be cleaned, formed from water, a detergent mixture and a rinse aid, wherein the detergent mixture comprises a peroxidation catalyst and wherein the rinse aid comprises an oxygen source. Such a composition may provide a more effective cleaning behaviour. The present invention further relates to a method for removing soil from a surface to be cleaned comprising applying to the surface to be cleaned a composition according to the invention.

An automatic dishwashing cleaning composition having a new protease.

The present invention relates to a composite form of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) and a method for its preparation. The composite form may comprise a new crystalline form. The invention also relates to the crystalline form itself. The present invention also relates to compositions comprising tetraacetylethylenediamine in these forms.

The present invention relates to a method of washing textile articles that can be carried out, for example, in a continuous batch tunnel washer. Embodiments of the present method can include treating the textile with an aqueous composition including cleaning agent and halogen-containing bleaching agent for a time sufficient to remove soil from the textile and contacting the halogen-treated textile with an aqueous composition including a peroxycarboxylic acid. The concentration of halogen after the sufficient time can be at a level that does not result in adverse interaction between the halogen-containing bleaching agent and the peroxycarboxylic acid. Embodiments of the present method can clean textiles with the results of more effective stain removal and less waste through destruction of the textile article. Further, the present invention can clean a textile contacted soiled by a composition including chlorhexidine gluconate without resulting staining of the textile, which staining could have been permanent.

The invention relates to methods for cleaning a medical device, a medical cleaning composition, use of a polypeptide having DNase activity for cleaning a medical device, and a medical device coated with a polypeptide having DNase activity.
