Dye transfer inhibiting compositions are disclosed, comprising an enzyme exhibiting peroxidase activity, a hydrogen peroxide or a hydrogen peroxide precursor or an enzymatic system capable of generating hydrogen peroxide, an additional oxidizable substrate, and a cellulase, characterized in that the cellulase provides at least 10 % removal of immobilized radioactive labelled carboxymethyl cellulose according to C14CMC method at 25 x 10-6 % by weight of the laundry test solution. According to the present invention, a preferred cellulase consists essentially of a homogeneous endoglucanase component which is immunoreactive with a monoclonal antibody raised against a partially purified = 43 kD cellulase derived from Humicola insolens:DM1800. |
