A laundry detergent formulation is provided that is formed as an aqueous blend of surfactants, enzymes, builders, and soil release polymers to inhibit soil re-deposition back onto other clothing or elements of the washing machine. The detergent formulation also contains additives with properties that impart a treatment to fabrics that inhibits future soil deposition onto the clothing with continued use. The detergent formulation provides cleaning of heavy duty grease and automotive soils from clothing surfaces that is superior to current detergent products.

The present disclosure relates to detergent compositions that comprise renewable components and exhibit good performance, as compared to both traditional detergent formulations that contain non-renewable ingredients and known detergent formulations that contain renewable components.

The disclosure relates to products including a polysaccharide derivative wherein the polysaccharide derivative includes a polysaccharide substituted with at least one of: a) at least one sulfate group; b) at least one sulfonate group; c) at least one thiosulfate group; or d) a combination thereof; wherein the polysaccharide is poly alpha-1,3-glucan, poly alpha-1,6-glucan, poly alpha-1,3-1,6-glucan, or a mixture thereof; and the polysaccharide derivative has a degree of substitution of about 0.001 to about 3. The products can be useful as anti-deposition and/or anti-graying agents in laundry detergents, and in home care applications.

Cleaning compositions may include a mix of enzymes that include dispersins and proteases. Said compositions may be used in cleaning processes and/or for deep cleaning of organic stains, and for removal or reduction of components of organic matter.
