Abstract

The present invention relates to a liquid detergent composition comprising enzymes and a boron derived enzyme stabilising agent which can be used as a cleaning and softening composition in domestic laundry processes and which further comprises diester or diamide quaternary ammonium compound, preferably a diester quaternary ammonium compound. Preferably the composition has a pH which is between 7 and 10, more preferably between 7.5 and 8.5 when diluted to a 1% solution in distilled water. Whilst the composition may be used directly in the form of a liquid, or may be predissolved in water, in a preferred execution of the present invention the composition is used in the form of a foam or a gel or paste.
