Claims6
A method of cleaning, comprising contacting a surface or an item in need of cleaning with an effective amount of at least one polypeptide selected from the group consisting of;
- a) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence with at least 91% identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:22;
- b) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence with at least 94% identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:23;
- c) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence with at least 98% identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:24;
- and
- d) a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence with at least 80% identity with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:25;
- and optionally further comprising the step of rinsing said surface or item after contacting said surface or item with said polypeptide.
