Abstract: A granular detergent composition containing a secondary (2,3) alkyl sulfate surfactant and a bleach/bleach activator system which has improved cleaning performance is provided. The detergent composition comprises: (a) from about 1% to about 40% of a secondary (2,3) alkyl sulfate surfactant; (b) from about 0.005% to about 5% of an enzyme; (c) from about 0.5% to about 20% of a peroxygen bleaching agent; and (d) from about 0.5% to about 20% of a bleach activator. The peroxygen bleaching compound and the bleach activator are in a molar ratio from about 1:1 to about 9:1. The detergent composition is stable, exhibits superior cleaning and contains a more biodegradable surfactant.

Abstract: Automatic dishwashing detergent compositions comprising certain cobalt catalysts are provided. More specifically, the invention relates to automatic dishwashing detergents which provide enhanced cleaning/bleaching benefits (especially tea stain removal) through the selection of cobalt chelated catalysts having the formula:[Co.sub.n L.sub.m X.sub.p ].sup.z Y.sub.z.Preferred automatic dishwashing compositions comprise amylase and/or protease enzymes. Included are methods for washing tableware in domestic automatic dishwashing appliances using the cobalt catalysts.

Abstract: The invention herein provides bleaching compositions comprising a protease enzyme which is a carbonyl hydrolase variant having an amino acid sequence not found in nature, which is derived by replacement of a plurality of amino acid residues of a precursor carbonyl hydrolase with different amino acids, wherein said plurality of amino acid residues replaced in the precursor enzyme correspond to position +76 in combination with one or more of the following residues: +99, +101, +103, +104, +107, +123, +27, +105, +109, +126, +128, +135, +156, +166, +195, +197, +204, +206, +210, +216, +217, +218, +222, +260, +265, and/or +274, where the numbered positions corresponds to naturally-occurring subtilisin from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens or to equivalent amino acid residues in other carbonyl hydrolases or subtilisins (such as Bacillus lentus subtilisin) and a bleaching agent.
