Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel compositions for biobleaching coupled with stone washing of indigo dyed denims comprising a blend of glucose oxidase, catalases and cellulases in the ratio of 1.0:10.0:1.0 along with sugar base, peroxide source and optional adjuvants and a process for the said biobleaching coupled with stone washing wherein the process is carried out at optimized conditions of neutral pH (6.5-7.0) and a temperature of 55° C. Processing time may vary from 15 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the extent of bleach required for the fabric.
