A detergent or disinfectant composition comprising is presented having 0.5 to 10 percent by weight of an activator compound which under perhydrolysis conditions forms a percarboxylic acid, and releases a leaving group capable of being used as a substrate for enzymes, and up to 50 percent by weight of a peroxygen compound. The composition increases the oxidation of peroxide compounds in oxidation, bleaching, detergent, cleaning and disinfecting solutions, especially at low temperatures. |
