First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A cleaning composition comprising a DNase having at least 85% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 13, a protease having at least 85% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 79 or SEQ ID NO: 82; and a cleaning component. 2 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the protease has at least 85% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 79. 3 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the protease has at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 79. 4 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the protease has at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 79. 5 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the protease has at least 85% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 82. 6 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the protease has at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 82. 7 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the protease has at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 82. 8 . 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). 9 . 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. 10 . 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. 11 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of DNase is from 0.01 to 1000 ppm and the amount of protease is from 0.01 to 1000 ppm. 12 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of DNase is from 100 to 1000 ppm and the amount of protease is from 100 to 1000 ppm. 13 . The cleaning composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of DNase is from 150 to 1000 ppm and the amount of protease is from 150 to 1000 ppm. 14 . A kit intended for cleaning, comprising a solution which comprises a DNase and a protease, wherein the DNase has at least 85% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 13, and the protease has at least 85% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 79 or SEQ ID NO: 82. 15 . A method of cleaning a textile, comprising contacting the textile with the cleaning composition of claim 1 in a wash liquor. 16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising rinsing the textile.
