First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cleaning composition comprising (a) a DNAse having at least 85% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 13, (b) a mannanase having mannanase activity and at least 90% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 82, and (c) a cleaning component. 2. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the DNase has at least 90% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 13. 3. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the DNase has at least 95% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 13. 4. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the DNase has at least 98% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 13. 5. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the DNase is the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 13. 6. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the mannanase has at least 95% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 82. 7. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the mannanase has at least 97% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 82. 8. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , further comprising a cellulase. 9. The cleaning composition of claim 8 , wherein the cellulase is selected from the group consisting of: a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 83, a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 84, a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 85, and a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 86. 10. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , further comprising an amylase. 11. The cleaning composition of claim 10 , wherein the amylase is a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 88, a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 89, a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 90, and a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 91. 12. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , further comprising a xylanase. 13. The cleaning composition of claim 12 , wherein the xylanase is a polypeptide having at least 80% sequence identity to the polypeptide shown in SEQ ID NO: 87. 14. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the DNase comprises one or both of the motif(s) [D/M/L][S/T]GYSR[D/N] (SEQ ID NO: 73) or ASXNRSKG (SEQ ID NO: 74). 15. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the DNase is from 0.01 to 1000 ppm and the amount of the mannanase is from 0.01 to 1000 ppm. 16. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the cleaning component is a surfactant. 17. The cleaning composition of claim 16 , wherein the surfactant is an anionic and/or nonionic surfactant. 18. The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the cleaning component is a builder or bleach component. 19. A kit for deep cleaning, which comprises a solution of a mixture comprising (a) a DNase having DNA activity and at least 85% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:13, (b) a mannanase having mannanase activity and at least 90% sequence identity to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 82, and (c) a cleaning component. 20. A method of deep cleaning a textile, comprising washing the textile with a cleaning composition of claim 1 .
