present granular compositions detergency enzymes are commonly used at concentrations of from about 0 1 to about 1 0 by weight of such compositions typical enzymes include the various proteases lipases amylases and mixtures thereof which are designed to remove a variety of soils and stains from fabrics compositions of the present invention can be prepared in any of a wide variety of product forms for example as granules powder liquid gel paste or tablets where a solid product form is desired a granular composition is generally preferred and a slurry comprising a builder salt such as sodium tripolyphosphate and the surfactant system can be spray dried to form granules alternatively the product may be agglomerated and this is preferred with certain nonionic surfactants which are relatively low boiling and may degrade during spray drying in especially preferred compositions the product is prepared in liquid form liquid products are very useful for grease removal as they can safely be used without dilution as a pre treatment for oily stains in liquid formulations the surfactant mixture is normally dissolved in water or a wateralcohol mixture preferred alcohols being c 1 c 3 alkanols especially ethanol in liquid formulations particularly preferred co surfactants are the magnesium calcium triethanolammonium and monoethanolammonium salts of las preparation of 4 7 10 13 tetraoxatricosan 1 2 diol sodium salt of 3 6 9 trioxanoadecan 1 ol c 10 e 3 sodium hydride 7 4 g was mixed with anhydrous diethyl.
