Abstract
Stabilized cleaning compositions comprise a biochemical soil degrading enzyme, a slow release oxidant bleach composition and an effective amount of a reducing agent to prevent the appearance of an enzyme deactivating concentration of oxidant bleach composition permitting the enzyme to degrade biochemical soils before bleaching action begins.
Claims18
A cleaning composition, having a combination of bleaching action and enzymatic degradation of biochemical soils, which comprises a slow release oxidant bleach composition which delays the appearance of the full concentration of the oxidant bleach, said composition having a tendency to release a small enzyme deactivating amount of the oxidant, prior to the full concentration of the bleach being released, a biological soil degrading enzyme and an amount of a chemical reducing agent effective to delay the appearance of an enzyme deactivating concentration of oxidant bleach composition until the full concentration of the oxidant bleach composition is released.
