Abstract

Automatic dishwashing detergent compositions comprising certain cobalt catalysts are provided. More specifically, the invention relates to automatic dishwashing detergents which provide enhanced cleaning/bleaching benefits (especially tea stain removal) through the selection of cobalt chelated catalysts having the formula: EQU [Co.sub.n L.sub.m X.sub.p ].sup.z Y.sub.z. Preferred automatic dishwashing compositions comprise amylase and/or protease enzymes. Included are methods for washing tableware in domestic automatic dishwashing appliances using the cobalt catalysts.
