Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions such as cleaning compositions comprising a mix of enzymes. The invention further relates, use of compositions comprising such enzymes in cleaning processes and/or for deep cleaning of organic soiling, methods for removal or reduction of components of organic matter.

Claims (20)

1 . A cleaning composition comprising a DNase, a Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase and a cleaning component, wherein the DNase has at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 13, and the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase is a PelA enzyme with at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

2 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the DNase is microbial.

3 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the DNase has at least 85% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 13.

4 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the DNase has at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 13.

5 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the DNase has at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 13.

6 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase has at least 85% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

7 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase has at least 90% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

8 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase has at least 95% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

9 . The cleaning composition of claim 3 , wherein the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase has at least 85% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

10 . The cleaning composition of claim 3 , wherein the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase has at least 90% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

11 . The cleaning composition of claim 3 , wherein the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase has at least 95% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

12 . The cleaning composition of claim 4 , wherein the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase has at least 85% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

13 . The cleaning composition of claim 4 , wherein the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase has at least 90% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

14 . The cleaning composition of claim 4 , wherein the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase has at least 95% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

15 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of DNase in the composition is from 0.01 to 1000 ppm and the amount of glycosyl hydrolase is from 0.01 to 1000 ppm.

16 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the cleaning component is selected from the group consisting of surfactants, builders and bleach components.

17 . A kit intended for deep cleaning, wherein the kit comprises a solution of an enzyme mixture comprising a DNase and a Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase, wherein the DNase has at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 13, and the Glyco_hydro_114 glycosyl hydrolase is a PelA enzyme with at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87.

18 . The kit of claim 17 , wherein the enzyme mixture further comprises a protease.

19 . A method of deep cleaning a textile, comprising contacting the item with a cleaning composition of claim 17 .

20 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising rinsing the textile.
