The present invention relates to laundry care compositions comprising carboxylate dyes. The laundry care compositions can be laundry detergent compositions, laundry additive compositions such as fabric enhancer compositions or bleach additive compositions. Preferably, the laundry care composition is a laundry detergent composition. The composition can be a solid, such as a powder, tablet or bar, or a liquid. The composition can be in the form of a unit dose, such as pouch. Suitable unit dose pouches include single compartment and multi-compartment pouches.

Sustainable, free-flowing, cold-dispersible pearlescent concentrates are made without using any controversial or known toxic substance is disclosed herein. The pearlizing concentrates of the instant invention are free of alkyl sulphates/alkyl ether sulphates, alkanol amides, alkylamidopropyl betaines, and esters of ethylene glycol. The pearly concentrates of the present invention employ ‘super-mild’ surfactants to disperse vegetable plant derived 1,3-proane diol stearates. Also, these concentrates are preserved without any controversial antimicrobials such as parabens, isothiazolinones and formaldehyde releasers.

The present invention relates to a textile washing agent, in particular a liquid textile washing agent, comprising a) at least one protease, wherein the protease has proteolytic activity and comprises an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% sequence identity with the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID NO:1 over its entire length and, in each case based on the numbering according to SEQ ID NO:1, has (i) at the positions that correspond to positions 9, 130, 133, 144, 217, 252 and 271, amino acid substitutions, in particular the amino acid substitutions 9T, 130D/V, 133A, 144K, 217M, 252T and 271E, and (ii) at at least one, preferably at least two, of the positions that correspond to positions 6, 89, 131, 166, 189, 211 or 224, at least one additional amino acid substitution, in particular selected from 6W/F, 89A/G, 131H/Y/F, 166M/L/I, 189T/L/I, 211N/Q and 224A/G, more preferably selected from 6W, 89A, 131H, 166M, 189T, 211N and 224A, and b) at least one washing agent ingredient, preferably in an amount of from 0.01 to 99.9 wt.%, wherein the textile washing agent has a pH of from approximately 9 to approximately 12, measured in a 1 wt.% solution in deionized water at 20° C. The present invention also relates to corresponding methods for cleaning textiles, in which methods agents according to the invention are used, and to uses of agents according to the invention for removing protease-sensitive stains from textiles.
