Novel cleaning compositions comprising cell wall degrading enzymes are disclosed having pectinases and/or hemicellulases and optionally cellulases. The compositions are particularly suitable for removing stains of vegetable origin, especially from textiles. Although compositions having only one type of such enzymes axe part of the invention (excluding cellulases alone), preferred embodiments have a mixture of cell wall degrading enzyme activities to allow for a concerted action against the fibrous mass which usually constitutes a stain of vegetable origin.

Cleaning compositions containing plant cell wall degrading enzymes and their use in cleaning methods

New proteolytic enzymes are provided exhibiting improved properties for application in detergents, especially laundry detergents. These enzymes are obtained by expression of a gene encoding a proteolytic enzyme having an amino acid sequence which differs at least in one amino acid from the wild type enzyme. Preferred enzymes are certain mutants derived from the serine protease of Bacillus nov. spec. PB92.
