Cleaning compositions may include a mix of enzymes that include a dispersin and a carbohydrase. Said compositions may be used in cleaning processes and/or for deep cleaning of organic stains.

The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides having laccase activity and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the polynucleotides as well as methods of producing and using the polypeptides.

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 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.

Disclosed is variants of a cellulase having improved stability in the presence of a protease, and the use of such variants in laundry.

The disclosure is directed to cleaning compositions, methods of making the cleaning compositions, and methods of using the cleaning compositions. The cleaning compositions comprise an enzyme composition, a nonionic surfactant, and a quaternary amine. Preferably, the enzyme compositions included in the cleaning compositions comprise a cellulase, an AA9 polypeptide having cellulolytic enhancing activity, a hemicellulase, an esterase, an expansin, a laccase, a ligninolytic enzyme, a pectinase, a peroxidase, a protease, a swollenin, or a combination or mixture thereof. The compositions are useful for degradation of bacterial cellulose.

A fluid washing composition with four separate components and laundry washing kit thereof is disclosed. The four components are housed in respective independent tanks of a laundry washing machine equipped with a program for selecting, dosing and differentiated delivering. Component 1 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 4.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 40°-60° C., having a specific action on cotton fibers, particularly, whites. Component 2 is a detergent formulation with a pH of 8.0-12.0, with high detergent effect in washing programs at temperatures of 15°-40° C., having a specific action on synthetic, colored and animal-origin fibers. Component 3 is an enzyme-based stain-removing formulation including protease and lipase and possibly amylase with a pH of 5.0-6.0, stabilized with sorbitol and calcium chloride. Component 4 is an after-wash conditioning formulation, with a pH of 2.0-4.0.

The invention provides a liquid boron-free enzyme composition, comprising aliphatic 1,2-diols, which exhibit excellent physical and microbial stability.

The invention provides an enzymatic water-in-oil emulsion, which is suitable for making multi-enzyme blends, and for producing enzymatic detergents.

A series of natural soaps, both liquid and solid, and methods of making thereof, which have a synergistic effect when formulated with anti-redeposition ingredients in laundry applications both in synthetic and natural textiles and fabrics. The fatty acids and/or natural oils based series of natural soaps include both sodium and potassium soap products that interact synergistically with, preferably, known, natural anti-redeposition agents and alkaline builders creating highly effective, natural solid (bar or powdered) and liquid laundry cleaning products. Solid forms soaps are dried to an acceptable amount of moisture content for milling. Further blending is then performed with various natural anti-redeposition agents or natural products which exhibit said characteristics and/or alkaline builders. The solid forms may be formed into single dose tablets. Effervescent additives may further be included.
