An improvement for boosting the cleaning capacity of liquid washing compositions provides for the use of a combination of one or more secondary paraffinsulfonates having 8 to 22 carbon atoms and amylase for increasing the cleaning capacity of the liquid washing compositions with respect to starch-containing stains on textiles. In accordance with the invention, it is possible to lower the amount of liquid washing composition with comparable cleaning performance, which brings environmental advantages. Moreover, it is possible to clean at low temperatures, which can reduce energy consumption.
