Definitions

  • This invention relates to stain removal and detergency.
  • proteolytic enzymes as assistants in the laundering of clothes with detergent compositions has long been known in the art. While combination contining both enzymes and sodium perborate, a well known bleaching agent used in detergent products, have been suggested, the art has taught that the presence of the perborate has an inhibitory effect on the enzyme action, which inhibitory action passes away, in part after some time (e.g. on soaking overnight in the presence of the detergent composition).
  • bleaches of greater activity than sodium perborate such as chlorine bleach'es (supplied for instance by the use of a chloroisocyanurate material which yields hypochlorous ions in the wash water) has a marked inhibiting effect on the stain-removing activity of detergent products containing enzymes.
  • this invention relates to a novel and highly effective composition for removing stains in the washing of soiled laundry and fabrics which contain a proteolytic enzyme, a hydroxylamine compound or a hydrazine compound having at least one free hydrogen on the hydroxylamine or hydrazine nucleus, a perborate and an activator for the perborate.
