Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid detergent composition comprising an effective amount of an enzyme, 0.001-3% wt of a perfume ingredient, and 0.005-2% wt of an anti-oxidant. It has been found that the storage stability of the enzyme—which is preferably a protease—can be drastically improved by the addition of the anti-oxidant.

Abstract: An isotropic aqueous liquid detergent composition comprising: a succinate dimer surfactant selected from alkyl and alkenyl succinate dimers in which two succinic acid moieties or derivatives thereof are joined by a (poly)alkyleneoxy bridge and each carboxylic acid group is independently in the free acid form, salt form or is esterified or is a corresponding amide group; and mixtures thereof; one or more other surfactants; and water.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the preservation of a perfume components in a bleaching composition. The bleaching composition is substantially devoid of a peroxygen bleach or a peroxy-based or peroxyl-generating bleach system.

Abstract: The present invention concerns the preservation of a catalyst in a bleaching composition whilst facilitating activation of the catalyst. The bleaching composition is substantially devoid of a peroxygen bleach or a peroxy-based or peroxyl-generating bleach system.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous liquid bleaching detergent composition, comprising: (e) a bleach catalyst; and (f) from 0.001 to 0.1% by weight of an anti-oxidant, said composition being substantially free of boron. It was found that said composition shows favourable storage properties: its bleaching and cleaning activities are maintained after prolonged periods of storage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid detergent composition, comprising: (a) a cleaning effective amount of an enzyme preferably selected from a proteolytic enzyme, an amylolytic enzyme, a lipolytic enzyme, a cellulolytic enzyme and mixtures thereof; (b) from 0.001 to 3% by weight of a perfume composition, not containing a perfume component selected from the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated linear aldehydes, lilial, cyclal c, vanillin, citral, cinnamic aldehyde, pulegone, terpinolene, gamma terpinene, alpha methylionone; (c) from 0.002 to 1% by weight of an antioxidant; and (d) a fatty acid soap in an amount of at most 4% by weight. Said detergent composition was found to have favourable storage stability characteristics.
