A cleaning agent for hard surfaces and methods for cleaning are provided herein. In one embodiment, the cleaning agent includes at least one first amylase, wherein the first amylase is an &#x3b1;-amylase fromsp. No. 707 or a functional fragment or a variant thereof. The cleaning agent further includes at least one second amylase, wherein the second amylase is an AA560 &#x3b1;-amylase fromsp. or a functional fragment or a variant thereof. In another embodiment, the method includes dispensing the cleaning agent into the interior of an automatic dishwasher while a dishwashing program is being executed, before the main washing cycle begins, or in the course of the main washing cycle.

Cleaning agent containing amylases

In a dishwashing liquid, the cleaning performance, in particular on bleachable stains such as, for example, tea stains, is to be improved. This succeeds using a dishwashing liquid which comprises a hydrogen peroxide source, a bleaching catalyst and a protease that, in native electrophoresis on a polyacrylamide gel, has a migration distance that is longer than the migration distance of the protease as per SEQ ID NO. 1.

Dishwashing liquid having bleaching catalyst and protease

The present invention relates to a cleaning agent having improved cleaning performance wherein the agent comprises a first protease and a second protease and to a cleaning method, particularly an automatic cleaning method in which this agent is used.

Cleaning agent containing proteases

The aim is to improve detergency, in particular on custard stains, in an essentially solid dishwashing detergent. This is accomplished with an essentially solid dishwashing detergent which comprises a protease which comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence given in SEQ ID NO. 1 and which has the amino acid glutamic acid (E) or aspartic acid (D) at position 99 in the count according to SEQ ID NO. 1.

Solid dishwashing detergent with improved protease performance

The intention is to improve storage stability in a liquid washing or cleaning agent which contains a protease and amylase. This is achieved by using a protease which comprises an amino acid sequence which, over the entire length thereof, is at least 70% identical to the amino acid sequence stated in SEQ ID no. 1 and, in the numbering according to SEQ ID no. 1, has the amino acid substitution R99E or R99D in combination with at least two further amino acid substitutions which are selected from the group consisting of S3T, V4I and V199I.

Liquid washing or cleaning agent containing protease and amylase

A liquid cleaning agent containing: a) 20 to 70 wt % water, b) at least one amylase preparation, c) at least one Ca-ion source, d) lactic acid or a lactic acid salt, is notable for elevated amylase stability and improved cleaning performance.

Machine dishwasher detergent

The invention relates to copolymers which comprise, in copolymerized form,

Copolymers comprising carboxylic acid groups, sulfo groups and polyalkylene oxide groups as a scale-inhibiting additive to washing and cleaning products

The invention relates to fluid washing or cleaning products which are present as combination products comprising a packaging means and at least two fluid washing or cleaning compositions A and B that are located in said packaging means and that are separate from each other, wherein the two compositions A and B comprise A: 10 to 75 wt % of builder material(s); 0.1 to 10 wt % of enzyme preparation; 24.9 to 89.9 wt % of water; and B: less than 0.1 wt % of enzyme preparation; 0.5 to 90 wt % of water and at least one further ingredient of washing or cleaning products, and which fluid washing or cleaning products have an improved stability if the viscosity of the compositions A and B is above 1500 mPas.

Combination product having two separate cleaning compositions, both having a high viscosity

Stains on plastic dishware in the course of machine dishwashing can be prevented or at least reduced by use of hydrophobically modified polysaccharides.

Machine dishwasher detergent comprising hydrophobically modified polysaccharides

It is possible to prevent or at least mitigate discoloration of plastics tableware during machine dishwashing by using amphiphilic block copolymers of -A-B- type, where A represents the hydrophilic monomer unit of the hydrophilic block Aand B represents the hydrophobic monomer unit of the hydrophobic block Band a diene serves as monomer for the hydrophobic monomer unit B.

Amphiphilic block copolymers and machine dishwashing detergents containing these

The present invention describes a dishwashing detergent containing at least four special nonionic surfactants for improving the drying of plastic wash ware. The invention further relates to the use of the dishwashing detergent in an automatic dishwashing method and to the use of the dishwashing detergent to improve the drying of plastic wash ware.

Surfactant combination for improved drying

Phosphonate-containing liquid washing or cleaning agent exhibiting advantageous proteolytic activity and improved storage stability comprising a protease having an amino acid sequence which is at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence stated in SEQ ID NO. 1 and which comprises in position 99 in the numbering according to SEQ ID NO. 1 the amino acid glutamic acid (E) or aspartic acid (D) or the amino acid asparagine (N) or glutamine (Q) or the amino acid alanine (A) or glycine (G) or serine (S).

Storage-stable liquid washing or cleaning agent containing proteases

In a washing or cleaning agent that contains a solid enzyme formulation, the intention is to improve shelf stability in terms of enzymatic activity. This is achieved by a washing or cleaning agent comprising an enzyme granulate, the granulate comprising, besides the enzyme, the following components: (a) 68 to 90 wt % (w/w) sulfate, in particular alkali metal sulfate, particularly preferably sodium sulfate, (b) 0.1 to 10.5 wt % (w/w) polyethylene glycol, (c) 0.5 to 14.5 wt % (w/w) granulation adjuvant.

Detergents or cleaning agents having a solid enzyme formulation

The invention relates to washing and cleaning agents for washing or cleaning colored textile surface structures, used for improving the color-fastness thereof. The aim was substantially met by adding polymers obtained by the polymerization of benzoxazine monomers to the agent.

Color-protecting washing or cleaning agent
