Description: METHODS FOR REDUCING OR PREVENTING THE DEGRADATION OF RUBBER IN DOMESTIC BLEACH PROCESSES TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to methods for reducing or preventing the degradation of rubber, especially natural rubber, in domestic bleach processes, and more particularly to methods of cleaning fabrics in an automatic washing machine. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It has long been known that peroxygen bleaches are effective for stain and/or soil removal from fabrics, but such bleaches are temperature dependent. At a wash liquor temperature of 60° C, peroxygen bleaches become relatively ineffective. As a consequence, there has been substantial amount of industrial research to develop bleaching systems which contain an activator that renders peroxygen bleaches effective at wash liquor temperatures below 60° C. Numerous substances have been disclosed in the art as effective bleach activators. One widely-used bleach activator is tetraacetyl ethylene diamine (TAED). TAED provides effective hydrophilic cleaning especially on beverage stains, but has limited performance on dingy, yellow stains such as those resulting from body oils. Another type of activators, such as those activators which generally comprise long chain alkyl moieties, are hydrophobic in nature and provides excellent performance on dingy stains. However, many of the hydrophobic activators developed thus far can promote damage to rubber parts used in certain washing machines. Because of these negative effects on washing machine parts, particularly natural rubber, the selection of detergent-added bleaching systems has long been limited. This is especially true for European detergent/bleaches, since many washing machines manufactured in Europe have been equipped with key parts, such as sump hoses, door seals and motor gaskets, made of rubber. A need, therefore, exists for a bleaching system which provides dingy soil clean up without substantially damaging the rubber parts found in washing machines. The search, therefore, continues for more effective bleach materials, especially for ones which do not substantially damage the rubber parts found in washing machines. Improved bleach materials should be safe, effective, and will preferably be designed to interact with troublesome soils and stains. Various activators have been described in the literature. Many are esoteric and expensive. This need remains, to find a bleach material which is effective on all soils, can operate in all conditions and is cost effective without substantially damaging the rubber parts found in washing machines. BACKGROUND ART U.S. Patents 5,438,147 , 5,061,807, European Patents 0 325 288 Al, 0 325 289 A 1, 0 366 041 A2, German Patent Application DE 3 823 172 A2 and Japanese Patent Application JP 4-28799 all disclose various imidopercarboxylic acid bleach activators. U.S. Patent 5,132,431 discloses a process for the continuous preparation of imidoperoxycarboxylic acids. European Patent 0 484 095 A2 discloses imidoperoxycarboxylic acids in detergent compositions. U.S. Patent 5,419,846 discloses imidoperoxycarboxylic acids encapsulated in granules. European Patent 0 435 379 A2 discloses suspended compositions containing imidoperoxycarboxylic acids. PCT application WO 94/28104 Al disclosed amino-derived bleach activators which do not damage natural rubber parts of washing machines. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It has now been found that certain bleach materials are effective in removing soils and stains from fabrics and hard surfaces such as dishes as well as minimizing the degradation of rubber in domestic bleaching processes. The bleach materials are designed to function over a wide range of washing or soaking temperatures and are compatible with rubber surfaces, such as those of sump hoses, door seals and motor gaskets used in washing machines. In short, domestic bleaching processes herein provide a substantial advantage over those known in the art, as will be seen from the disclosures hereinafter. In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, a method of reducing or preventing degradation of rubber, in a domestic bleaching process is provide for.

In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, a method for cleaning fabrics in an automatic washing machine having parts made of rubber which is susceptible to oxidative degradation is provided. This method involves the steps of agitating the fabrics in the washing machine in an aqueous liquor comprising a bleach additive selected from the group consisting of: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) and (f) mixtures thereof; wherein, any of said moieties, A, E and X comprise substituted or unsubstituted, branched or linear hydrocarbyl groups, M is selected from hydrogen and compatible cations having a charge q; and y and z are integers such that said compound is electrically neutral; and L is a leaving group or OH; and such that said rubber parts of said machine are substantially undamaged by the bleaching system. The methods of the present invention are ideally suited for use in laundry applications and automatic dishwashing applications. Bleach additives are intended to be employed in conjunction with a source of hydrogen peroxide such as a bleaching composition or a bleaching composition including a detergent. Accordingly, the compositions used in the method of the present invention when used in laundry applications may also include additives, such as hydrogen peroxide source, detersive surfactants, chelates, and detersive enzymes. The compositions are preferably employed at concentrations of at least about 50 ppm and typically from about 1,000 to about 10,000 ppm in solution. The water temperatures preferably range from about 25°C to about 50°C. The water to fabric ratio is preferably from about 1 : 1 to about 15:1 Methods for washing soiled dishes such as tableware, also involve contacting the soiled dishes with an aqueous dishwashing liquor. The dishwashing liquor includes the bleach additive as fully described above. The dishwashing liquor may also include additives, such as a hydrogen peroxide source, detersive surfactants, chelates, and detersive enzymes. The compositions are preferably employed at concentrations of at least about 50 ppm and typically from about 1,000 to about 10,000 ppm in solution. The water temperatures preferably range from about 25°C to about 50°C. Accordingly, it is an aspect of the present invention to provide methods for reducing or preventing degradation of rubber, in a domestic bleaching process using a bleach additive.

L is a leaving group or OH. A leaving group is any group that can be displaced from the bleaching activator as a consequence of the nucleophilic attack on the bleach activator by the perhydroxide anion. This, the perhydrolysis reaction, results in the formation of the peroxycarboxylic acid. Generally, for a group to be suitable leaving group it must exert an electron attracting effect. It should also form a stable entity so that the rate of the back reaction is negligible. This facilitates the nucleophilic attack by the perhydroxide anion. The leaving group must be sufficiently reactive for the reaction to occur within the optimum time frame (e.g. a wash cycle). However, if the leaving group is too reactive, this activator will be difficult to stabilize for use in a bleaching composition. These characteristics are generally paralleled by the pKa of the conjugate acid of the leaving group, although exceptions to this convention are known. Ordinarily, leaving groups that exhibit such behavior are those which their conjugate acid has a pKa in the range of from about 4 to about 13, preferably from about 6 to about 11 and most preferably from about 8 to about 11. Preferred leaving groups are those selected from the group consisting of: and mixtures thereof. Wherein R , R? and R^ maybe the same or different, and are selected from H, alkyl, alkaryl, aryl or aralkyl containing from about 1 to about 14 carbon atoms, halogen, hydroxyl, C\ to C14 alkoxyl, amino, C\ to C14 alkylamino, COOR^ ( wherein R^ is H or C\ to C14 alkyl) and carbonyl functions. Y is H or a solubilizing group. The preferred solubilizing groups are -SO3" M + , -CO2"M + , -SO4 " M + , - N + (R6)4X" and -0-N(R^)3. Most preferably the solubilizing groups are -SO3" M + and -CO2"M + , with R^ as hereinbefore defined. M is a cation which provides solubility to bleach activator and X is an anion which provides solubility to bleach activator. Preferably, M is an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, or substituted ammonium cation, with sodium and potassium being most preferred. Preferably, the anion X is a halide, hydroxide, methylsulfate or acetate anion. It should be noted that bleach activators with a leaving group that does not contain a solubilizing group should be well dispersed in the bleaching solution in order to assist in their dissolution. L can also be a modified or unmodified lactam leaving group. The lactams which are suitable as leaving groups in the present application have the generic structure: where R represents an optionally substituted alkenyl chain with at least two carbon atoms in the alkenyl chain. This alkenyl chain forms a cyclic structure with the -N- and -C(O)-. The term modified means that the alkenyl can be substituted at least once or that one or more of the alkenyl carbon atoms can be substituted by a suitable heterocycle or any combination of both. Suitable heterocyclic chain substitutes are O, N, and S, with O being preferred. Suitable substituents include, but are not limited to, Ci -Cg alkyl, Cj-Cg alkenyl, Cj-Cg alkoxy, chloride, bromide, iodide. The preferred substituents are Ci -Cg alkyl, Cj-Cg alkoxy and chloride. The most preferred modified lactam leaving groups are: alpha-chlorocaprolactam, alpha- chloro-valerolactam, alpha,alpha-dichlorolactam, alpha,alpha-dichlorovalerolactam, alpha-methoxycaprolactam, alpha-methoxy-valerolactam, and mixtures thereof. When the lactams are unmodified, it means that they contain no substituents other hydrogen and have no heterocyclic substitution of the alkenyl chain of R. R is preferably an alkenyl chain of two to seven carbon atoms. It is preferred that the lactam leaving group will be unmodified. It is more preferred that the unsubstituted lactam leaving group will be either caprolactam or valerolactam. That is: The amount or physical form of the bleach additive used in the various methods of the present invention varies. Typically the bleach additive will be used in amounts of 0.1% to about 99.9%, preferably about 0.1% to about 60%, more preferably about 0.1% to about 40%, even more preferably, still, about 0.1% to about 30%. Preparation of the bleach additive: The bleach additive of the present application can be made via any of the well known synthesis methods. The bleach additive of formulas (a), (b) and (d) can be made by reacting the appropriate anhydride, either cyclic or acyclic, with an amino acid of the formula H2N-X-COOH. This reaction is typically done in an inert atmosphere. See US Patents 5,061,807 (Gethoffer et al) and 5,438,147 (Jaekel et al), and EP 349,940 all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Alternatively, these bleach additive, namely (a), (b) and (d), can be prepared by using an inexpensive lactam instead of the amino acid. Typically, the reaction involving lactams is under an inert atmosphere, for 2 to 20 hours at a temperature of 100° to 250°C. The resulting imidocarboxylic acids obtained by either method can then be reacted with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a strong acid to form the bleach act additive ivator of formula (b). See US Patent 5,061,807 (Gethoffer et al) and Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Volume XI/2, page 17. A method for the continuos production of imidoperoxycarboxylic acid can be found in US Patent 5,132,431 (Fuchs et al). The production of bleach additive of formula (a) when L is a leaving group can be done by starting with the imidocarboxylic acid and refluxing it with an hydroxybenzenederivative, which then becomes the desired leaving group, in an inert atmosphere. Preparation methods of this type are described, for example in EP 105,627, EP 105,673 and DE 3,824,901. Other synthesis processes are described in EP 202,698, EP 210,674, EP 140,251, EP 163,224, EP 163,225, EP 125,641, EP 165,480, EP 211,045, EP 120,591, EP 166,571, EP 204,116, EP 153,222, EP 153,223, EP 164,786, EP 201,222, EP 227,194, EP 207,445, EP 220,656 and EP 229,890, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Alternatively, there is a two step process which involves converting the acid to the corresponding acid halide, preferably acid chloride, in a known manner. Then in the second step the acid halide is reacted with a hydroxy form of the desired leaving group, or hydroxy leaving group. In this reaction the acid halide and hydroxy leaving group are reacted in the ratio of 0.1-2.5:1, preferably 0.5-1.5:1, in an inert high-boiling solvent, for example toluene or xylene, at temperature of between 80°-200°C, preferably at 100°-150°C. The reaction time is typically between 60 and 360 minutes, but it can be longer depending upon the reactivity of the acid halide. After the reaction mixture has cooled, the solvent is filtered off with suction and the filter cake is washed and/or recrystallized from a suitable solvent.

Analogous reactions are described in the Patent applications EP 98,129, EP 148,148, EP 164,786 and EP 220,826. Other methods can be found in "New developments in the field of Imidoperoxicarboxylic acids", by H. Gethoeffer et al, a paper presented at the 1990 AOCS meeting, Baltimore, MD, EP patent application 366,041 and Japanese Laid- open Patent application (Kokai) No 4-28799. Bleach additive of formulas (c) and (e) can be made by either reacting the corresponding acyl chloride with sodium peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Alternatively, the acid anhydride may be used in place of the acyl chloride. To form unsymetrical compounds the acyl chloride or acyl anhydride is reacted with peroxycarboxylic acid.

This includes for example natural rubbers, vulcanized rubbers, vinyl rubbers, silicone rubbers, nitrile rubbers, isoprene rubbers, styrene rubbers and butadiene rubbers. Since it is preferred that the process be performed in an automatic washing machines the rubber is which is typically present in automatic washing machines, for example in door seals, motor gaskets, washers and sump hoses. It is especially preferred that rubber refers to the natural rubber parts, especially the door seals, motor gaskets and sump hoses, present in front loading washing machines, especially those front loading washing machines used or manufactured in Europe. It is also preferred that the rubber be a rubber which is susceptible to oxidative degeneration, for example natural rubber. Domestic Bleaching process The term "domestic bleaching process", means any process involving bleaching in a domestic environment. For example, it includes, but is not limited to, bleaching fabrics in a basin, sink or bucket, cleaning fabrics in a washing machine, cleaning dishes in an automatic dishwasher, cleaning floors or hard surfaces, etc. Preferably, the domestic bleaching process is performed in a washing machine, more preferably a front loading washing machine. The rubber substrate present in the process can be in a variety of different forms, for example, as door seals, motor gaskets, sump hoses etc., in washing machines, detergent and/or fabric softener dispensers, such as the DOWNY BALL® Procter & Gamble, floor coverings, buckets, basins, sponges, mops, rubber gloves etc. Preferably, the rubber substrate are door seals, motor gaskets, sump hoses present in washing machines.

Additional bleach activators are those described in U.S. Patent 5,130,045, Mitchell et al, and 4,412,934, Chung et al, and copending patent applications U. S. Serial Nos. 08/064,624, 08/064,623, 08/064,621, 08/064,562, 08/064,564, 08/082,270 and copending application to M. Burns, A. D. Willey, R. T. Hartshorn, C. K. Ghosh, entitled "Bleaching Compounds Comprising Peroxyacid Activators Used With Enzymes" and having U.S. Serial No. 08/133,691 (P&G Case 4890R), all of which are incorporated herein by reference. Quaternary substituted bleach activators may also be included. The present detergent compositions preferably comprise a quaternary substituted bleach activator (QSBA) or a quaternary substituted peracid (QSP); more preferably, the former. Preferred QSBA structures are further described in copending U.S. Patent Nos. 5,460,747, 5,584,888 and 5,578,136, incorporated herein by reference.

Owing to structures in which two relatively hydrophilic groups are disposed at the ends of the molecule, diperoxyacids have sometimes been classified separately from the hydrophilic and hydrophobic monoperacids, for example as "hydrotropic". Some of the diperacids are hydrophobic in a quite literal sense, especially when they have a long-chain moiety separating the peroxyacid moieties. It is stressed that if any bleach activators are used then they are limited to ones which cause minimal, preferably no damage to the rubber components in a domestic bleaching process. Enzymatic sources of hydrogen peroxide On a different track from the oxygen bleaching agents illustrated hereinabove, another suitable hydrogen peroxide generating system is a combination of a Cl -C4 alkanol oxidase and a Cl -C4 alkanol, especially a combination of methanol oxidase (MOX) and ethanol. Such combinations are disclosed in WO 94/03003. Other enzymatic materials related to bleaching, such as peroxidases, haloperoxidases, oxidases, superoxide dismutases, catalases and their enhancers or, more commonly, inhibitors, may be used as optional ingredients in the instant compositions. Oxygen transfer agents and precursors Also useful herein are any of the known organic bleach catalysts, oxygen transfer agents or precursors therefor. These include the compounds themselves and/or their precursors, for example any suitable ketone for production of dioxiranes and/or any of the hetero-atom containing analogs of dioxirane precursors or dioxiranes, such as sulfonimines R1 see EP 446 982 A, published 1991 and sulfonyloxaziridines, for example: O 1 2 / \ 3 R R C— NSO 2 R see EP 446,981 A, published 1991. Preferred examples of such materials include hydrophilic or hydrophobic ketones, used especially in conjunction with monoperoxysulfates to produce dioxiranes in situ, and/or the imines described in U.S. 5,576,282 and references described therein. Oxygen bleaches preferably used in conjunction with such oxygen transfer agents or precursors include percarboxylic acids and salts, percarbonic acids and salts, peroxymonosulfuric acid and salts, and mixtures thereof. See also U.S. 5,360,568; U.S. 5,360,569; and U.S. 5,370,826. In a highly preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a detergent composition which incorporates a transition-metal bleach catalyst in accordance with the invention, and organic bleach catalyst such as one named hereinabove, a primary oxidant such as a hydrogen peroxide source, a hydrophilic bleach activator, and at least one additional detergent, hard-surface cleaner or automatic dishwashing adjunct. Preferred among such compositions are those which further include a precursor for a hydrophobic oxygen bleach such. Detersive Surfactant The compositions used in the present invention may also additionally include a detersive surfactant. The detersive surfactant may comprise from about 0.1%, to about 99.9%), by weight of the composition depending upon the particular surfactants used and the effects desired. More typical levels comprise from about 1%) to about 80%), even more preferably from about 5%> to about 60%, by weight of the composition. Examples of suitable surfactants can be found in McCutcheon's EMULSIFIERS AND DETERGENTS, North American Edition, 1997, McCutcheon Division, MC Publishing Company, in U.S. 3,929,678, Dec. 30, 1975 Laughlin, et al, and U.S. 4,259,217, March 31, 1981, Murphy; in the series "Surfactant Science", Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York and Basel; in "Handbook of Surfactants", M.R.

Falbe, Springer-Verlag, 1987 and "Surface Active Agents and Detergents" (Vol. I and II by Schwartz, Perry and Berch) all of which are incorporated hereinbefore by reference. The detersive surfactant can be nonionic, anionic, ampholytic, zwitterionic, or cationic. Mixtures of these surfactants can also be used. Preferred detersive surfactants comprise anionic surfactants or mixtures of anionic surfactants with other surfactants, especially nonionic surfactants. Methods for use in conventional front loading washing machines and automatic dishwashing compositions typically employ low sudsing detersive surfactants, such as mixed ethyleneoxy/propyleneoxy nonionics. Those detersive surfactants which can act as a pH-reducing ionic nonsoap detersive surfactant include anionic surfactants in at least partially acidic form, semipolar surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants and mixtures of all three. Nonlimiting examples of pH reducing surfactants include the conventional Ci i .Cj alkylbenzene sulfonates ("LAS") and primary, branched-chain and random C10-C20 alkyl sulfates ("AS"), the Ci Q-Cjg secondary (2,3) alkyl sulfates of the formula CH 3 (CH2)χ(CHOSO 3 -M + )CH3 and CH 3 (CH2) y (CHOSO 3 -M + ) CH 2 CH 3 where x and (y + 1) are integers of at least about 7, preferably at least about 9, and M is a water-solubilizing cation, especially sodium, unsaturated sulfates such as oleyl sulfate, the Ci ø-Ci g alkyl alkoxy sulfates ("AE X S"; especially EO 1-7 ethoxy sulfates), Ci Q -Ci g alkyl alkoxy carboxylates (especially the EO 1-5 ethoxy carboxylates), and C12-C1 g alpha-sulfonated fatty acid esters.

Some suitable dianionic surfactants are further described in copending U.S. Serial No. 60/020,503 (Docket No. 6160P), 60/020,772 (Docket No. 6161P), 60/020,928 (Docket No. 6158P), 60/020,832 (Docket No. 6159P) and 60/020,773 (Docket No. 6162P) all filed on June 28, 1996, and 60/023,539 (Docket No. 6192P), 60/023493 (Docket No. 6194P), 60/023,540 (Docket No. 6193P) and 60/023,527 (Docket No. 6195P) filed on August 8th, 1996, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Other conventional useful surfactants are listed in standard texts. Additionally, the surfactant may be a branched alkyl sulfate, branched alkyl alkoxylate, branched alkyl alkoxylate sulfate or mid chain branched alkyl aryl sulfonate.

Other suitable mid- chain branched surfactants can be found in U.S. Patent applications Serial Nos. 60/032,035 (Docket No. 640 IP), 60/031,845 (Docket No. 6402P), 60/031,916 (Docket No. 6403P), 60/031,917 (Docket No. 6404P), 60/031,761 (Docket No. 6405P), 60/031,762 (Docket No. 6406P) and 60/031,844 (Docket No. 6409P). Mixtures of these branched surfactants with conventional linear surfactants are also suitable for use in the present compositions. One class of nonionic surfactant particularly useful in detergent compositions used in the methods of the present invention is condensates of ethylene oxide with a hydrophobic moiety. The hydrophobic (lipophilic) moiety may be aliphatic or aromatic in nature. The length of the poly oxy ethylene group which is condensed with any particular hydrophobic group can be readily adjusted to yield a water- soluble compound having the desired degree of balance between hydrophilic and hydrophobic elements. Especially preferred nonionic surfactants of this type are the C9-C15 primary alcohol ethoxylates containing 3-8 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol, particularly the C14-C15 primary alcohols containing 6-8 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol, the C12-C15 primary alcohols containing 3-5 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol, and mixtures thereof. Another suitable class of nonionic surfactants comprises sugar derived surfactants such as the polyhydroxy fatty acid amides of the formula: R 2 C(O)N(Rl)Z wherein: R is H, Ci -Cg hydrocarbyl, 2-hydroxyethyl, 2-hydroxypropyl, or a mixture thereof, preferably C -C alkyl, more preferably C\ or C2 alkyl, most preferably C\ alkyl (i.e., methyl); and R 2 is a C5-C32 hydrocarbyl moiety, preferably straight chain C7-C19 alkyl or alkenyl, more preferably straight chain C9- C17 alkyl or alkenyl, most preferably straight chain C11-C19 alkyl or alkenyl, or mixture thereof; and Z is a polyhydroxyhydrocarbyl moiety having a linear hydrocarbyl chain with at least 2 (in the case of glyceraldehyde) or at least 3 hydroxyls (in the case of other reducing sugars) directly connected to the chain, or an alkoxylated derivative (preferably ethoxylated or propoxylated) thereof. Z preferably will be derived from a reducing sugar in a reductive amination reaction; more preferably Z is a glycityl moiety. Suitable reducing sugars include glucose, fructose, maltose, lactose, galactose, mannose, and xylose, as well as glyceraldehyde. As raw materials, high dextrose com syrup, high fructose com sy p, and high maltose com sy p can be utilized as well as the individual sugars listed above. These com syrups may yield a mix of sugar components for Z. It should be understood that it is by no means intended to exclude other suitable raw materials. Z preferably will be selected from the group consisting of -CH -(CHOH) n -CH 2 OH, -CH(CH2OH)- (CHOH) n . 1 -CH OH, -CH2-(CHOH)2(CHOR')(CHOH)-CH 2 OH, where n is an integer from 1 to 5, inclusive, and R' is H or a cyclic mono- or poly- saccharide, and alkoxylated derivatives thereof. Most preferred are glycityls wherein n is 4, particularly -CH 2 -(CHOH) 4 -CH 2 OH. Ri can be, for example, N-methyl, N-ethyl, N-propyl, N-isopropyl, N-butyl, N-isobutyl, N-2 -hydroxy ethyl, or N-2-hydroxy propyl. For highest sudsing, Ri is preferably methyl or hydroxyalkyl. If lower sudsing is desired, Ri is preferably C2- Cg alkyl, especially n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, pentyl, hexyl and 2- ethyl hexyl. R2-CO-N< can be, for example, cocamide, stearamide, oleamide, lauramide, myristamide, capricamide, palmitamide, tallowamide, etc. Cationic surfactants suitable for use in the methods of the present invention include those having a long-chain hydrocarbyl group. Examples of such cationic co- surfactants include the ammonium co-surfactants such as alkyldimethylammonium halogenides, and those co-surfactants having the formula: [R2(OR 3 ) y ][R 4 (OR3) y ] 2 R 5 N+X- wherein R^ is an alkyl or alkyl benzyl group having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, each R? is selected from the group consisting of -CH2CH2-, - CH 2 CH(CH 3 )-, -CH CH(CH 2 OH)-, -CH 2 CH CH2-, and mixtures thereof; each R4 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C4 alkyl, C1 -C4 hydroxyalkyl, benzyl ring stmctures formed by joining the two R 4 groups, -CH2CHOH- CHOHCOR6CHOHCH2OH wherein R^ is any hexose or hexose polymer having a molecular weight less than about 1000, and hydrogen when y is not 0; R^ is the same as R 4 or is an alkyl chain wherein the total number of carbon atoms of R^ plus R5 is not more than about 18; each y is from 0 to about 10 and the sum of the y values is from 0 to about 15; and X is any compatible anion. Examples of other suitable cationic surfactants are described in following documents, all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety: M.C. Publishing Co., McCutcheon's, Detergents & Emulsifiers, (North American edition 1997); Schwartz, et al., Surface Active Agents, Their Chemistry and Technology, New York: Interscience Publishers, 1949; U.S. Patent 3,155,591; U. S. Patent 3,929,678; U. S. Patent 3,959,461 U. S. Patent 4,387,090 and U.S. Patent 4,228,044. Examples of suitable cationic surfactants are those corresponding to the general formula: wherein Ri , R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from an aliphatic group of from 1 to about 22 carbon atoms or an aromatic, alkoxy, polyoxyalkylene, alkylamido, hydroxyalkyl, aryl or alkylaryl group having up to about 22 carbon atoms; and X is a salt-forming anion such as those selected from halogen, (e.g. chloride, bromide), acetate, citrate, lactate, glycolate, phosphate nitrate, sulfate, and alkylsulfate radicals. The aliphatic groups can contain, in addition to carbon and hydrogen atoms, ether linkages, and other groups such as amino groups. The longer chain aliphatic groups, e.g., those of about 12 carbons, or higher, can be saturated or unsaturated. Preferred is when R\, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from Cl to about C22 alkyl. Especially preferred are cationic materials containing two long alkyl chains and two short alkyl chains or those containing one long alkyl chain and three short alkyl chains. The long alkyl chains in the compounds described in the previous sentence have from about 12 to about 22 carbon atoms, preferably from about 16 to about 22 carbon atoms, and the short alkyl chains in the compounds described in the previous sentence have from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, preferably from 1 to about 2 carbon atoms. Suitable levels of cationic detersive surfactant herein are from about 0.1% to about 20%), preferably from about 1% to about 15%, although much higher levels, e.g., up to about 30% or more, may be useful especially in nonionic : cationic (i.e., limited or anionic-free) formulations. Amphoteric or zwitterionic detersive surfactants when present are usually useful at levels in the range from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of the detergent composition. Often levels will be limited to about 5% or less, especially when the amphoteric is costly. Suitable amphoteric surfactants include the amine oxides corresponding to the formula: R R R" N→O wherein R is a primary alkyl group containing 6-24 carbons, preferably 10-18 carbons, and wherein R' and R" are, each, independently, an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The arrow in the formula is a conventional representation of a semi-polar bond. Builders Detergent builders can optionally be included in the compositions used herein to assist in controlling mineral hardness. Inorganic as well as organic builders can be used. Builders are typically used in automatic dishwashing and fabric laundering compositions to assist in the removal of particulate soils. The level of builder can vary widely depending upon the end use of the composition and its desired physical form. When present, the compositions will typically comprise at least about 1% builder. High performance compositions typically comprise from about 10% to about 80%, more typically from about 15% to about 50%) by weight, of the detergent builder. Lower or higher levels of builder, however, are not excluded. Inorganic or P-containing detergent builders include, but are not limited to, the alkali metal, ammonium and alkanolammonium salts of polyphosphates (exemplified by the tripolyphosphates, pyrophosphates, and glassy polymeric meta- phosphates), phosphonates, phytic acid, silicates, carbonates (including bicarbonates and sesquicarbonates), sulphates, and aluminosilicates. However, non-phosphate builders are required in some locales. Importantly, the compositions herein function surprisingly well even in the presence of the so-called "weak" builders (as compared with phosphates) such as citrate, or in the so-called "underbuilt" situation that may occur with zeolite or layered silicate builders. See U.S. Pat. 4,605,509 for examples of preferred aluminosilicates. Examples of silicate builders are the alkali metal silicates, particularly those having a SiO2:Na2O ratio in the range 1.6:1 to 3.2:1 and layered silicates, such as the layered sodium silicates described in U.S. Patent 4,664,839, issued May 12, 1987 to H. P. Rieck. NaSKS-6® is a crystalline layered silicate marketed by Hoechst (commonly abbreviated herein as "SKS-6"). Unlike zeolite builders, the Na SKS-6 silicate builder does not contain aluminum. NaSKS-6 is the δ-Na2Siθ5 morphology form of layered silicate and can be prepared by methods such as those described in German DE-A-3,417,649 and DE-A-3, 742,043. SKS-6 is a highly preferred layered silicate for use herein, but other such layered silicates, such as those having the general formula NaMSi x θ2χ+ι yH2θ wherein M is sodium or hydrogen, x is a number from 1.9 to 4, preferably 2, and y is a number from 0 to 20, preferably 0 can be used herein. Various other layered silicates from Hoechst include NaSKS-5, NaSKS-7 and NaSKS-11, as the α-, β- and γ- forms. Other silicates may also be useful, such as for example magnesium silicate, which can serve as a crispening agent in granular formulations, as a stabilizing agent for oxygen bleaches, and as a component of suds control systems. Silicates useful in automatic dishwashing (ADD) applications include granular hydrous 2-ratio silicates such as BRITESIL® H20 from PQ Corp., and the commonly sourced BRITESIL® H24 though liquid grades of various silicates can be used when the ADD composition has liquid form. Within safe limits, sodium metasilicate or sodium hydroxide alone or in combination with other silicates may be used in an ADD context to boost wash pH to a desired level. Examples of carbonate builders are the alkaline earth and alkali metal carbonates as disclosed in German Patent Application No. 2,321,001 published on November 15, 1973. Various grades and types of sodium carbonate and sodium sesquicarbonate may be used, certain of which are particularly useful as carriers for other ingredients, especially detersive surfactants. Aluminosilicate builders are useful in the present invention. Aluminosilicate builders are of great importance in most currently marketed heavy duty granular detergent compositions, and can also be a significant builder ingredient in liquid detergent formulations. Aluminosilicate builders include those having the empirical formula: [M z (zAlO2)y]-xH2O wherein z and y are integers of at least 6, the molar ratio of z to y is in the range from 1.0 to about 0.5, and x is an integer from about 15 to about 264. Useful aluminosilicate ion exchange materials are commercially available. These aluminosilicates can be crystalline or amorphous in structure and can be naturally-occurring aluminosilicates or synthetically derived. A method for producing aluminosilicate ion exchange materials is disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,985,669, Krummel, et al, issued October 12, 1976. Preferred synthetic crystalline aluminosilicate ion exchange materials useful herein are available under the designations Zeolite A, Zeolite P (B), Zeolite MAP and Zeolite X. In an especially preferred embodiment, the crystalline aluminosilicate ion exchange material has the formula: Nai2[(Alθ2)i2(Siθ2)i2]" χ H2θ wherein x is from about 20 to about 30, especially about 27. This material is known as Zeolite A. Dehydrated zeolites (x = 0 - 10) may also be used herein. Preferably, the aluminosilicate has a particle size of about 0.1-10 microns in diameter. As with other builders such as carbonates, it may be desirable to use zeolites in any physical or morphological form adapted to promote surfactant carrier function, and appropriate particle sizes may be freely selected by the formulator. Organic detergent builders suitable for the purposes of the present invention include, but are not restricted to, a wide variety of polycarboxylate compounds. As used herein, "polycarboxylate" refers to compounds having a plurality of carboxylate groups, preferably at least 3 carboxylates. Polycarboxylate builder can generally be added to the composition in acid form, but can also be added in the form of a neutralized salt or "overbased". When utilized in salt form, alkali metals, such as sodium, potassium, and lithium, or alkanolammonium salts are preferred. Included among the polycarboxylate builders are a variety of categories of useful materials. One important category of polycarboxylate builders encompasses the ether polycarboxylates, including oxydisuccinate, as disclosed in Berg, U.S. Patent 3,128,287, issued April 7, 1964, and Lamberti et al, U.S. Patent 3,635,830, issued January 18, 1972. See also "TMS/TDS" builders of U.S. Patent 4,663,071, issued to Bush et al, on May 5, 1987. Suitable ether polycarboxylates also include cyclic compounds, particularly alicyclic compounds, such as those described in U.S. Patents 3,923,679; 3,835,163; 4,158,635; 4,120,874 and 4,102,903. Other useful detergency builders include the ether hydroxypolycarboxylates, copolymers of maleic anhydride with ethylene or vinyl methyl ether, 1, 3, 5- trihydroxy benzene-2, 4, 6-trisulphonic acid, and carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid, the various alkali metal, ammonium and substituted ammonium salts of polyacetic acids such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and nitrilotriacetic acid, as well as polycarboxylates such as mellitic acid, succinic acid, oxydisuccinic acid, polymaleic acid, benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid, and soluble salts thereof. Citrate builders, e.g., citric acid and soluble salts thereof (particularly sodium salt), are polycarboxylate builders of particular importance for heavy duty laundry detergent formulations due to their availability from renewable resources and their biodegradability. Citrates can also be used in combination with zeolite and/or layered silicate builders. Oxydisuccinates are also especially useful in such compositions and combinations. Also suitable in the detergent compositions of the present invention are the 3,3-dicarboxy-4-oxa-l,6-hexanedioates and the related compounds disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,566,984, Bush, issued January 28, 1986. Useful succinic acid builders include the C5-C20 alkyl and alkenyl succinic acids and salts thereof. A particularly preferred compound of this type is dodecenylsuccinic acid. Specific examples of succinate builders include: laurylsuccinate, myristylsuccinate, palmitylsuccinate, 2- dodecenylsuccinate (preferred), 2-pentadecenylsuccinate, and the like. Laurylsuccinates are the preferred builders of this group, and are described in European Patent Application 86200690.5/0,200,263, published November 5, 1986. Other suitable polycarboxylates are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,144,226, Crutchfield et al, issued March 13, 1979 and in U.S. Patent 3,308,067, Diehl, issued March 7, 1967. See also U.S. Patent 3,723,322. Fatty acids, e.g., Ci 2-Cι g monocarboxylic acids, can also be incorporated into the compositions alone, or in combination with the aforesaid builders, especially citrate and/or the succinate builders, to provide additional builder activity. Such use of fatty acids will generally result in a diminution of sudsing, which should be taken into account by the formulator. In situations where phosphorus-based builders can be used, and especially in the formulation of bars used for hand-laundering operations, the various alkali metal phosphates such as the well-known sodium tripolyphosphates, sodium pyrophosphate and sodium orthophosphate can be used. Phosphonate builders such as ethane- l-hydroxy-l,l-diphosphonate and other known phosphonates (see, for example, U.S. Patents 3,159,581; 3,213,030; 3,422,021; 3,400,148 and 3,422,137) can also be used. However, in general, phosphorous-based builders are not desired. Chelating Agents The compositions used herein may also optionally contain one or more heavy metal chelating agents, such as diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTP A). More generally, chelating agents suitable for use herein can be selected from the group consisting of aminocarboxylates, aminophosphonates, polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelating agents and mixtures thereof. Without intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that the benefit of these materials is due in part to their exceptional ability to remove heavy metal ions from washing solutions by formation of soluble chelates; other benefits include inorganic film or scale prevention. Other suitable chelating agents for use herein are the commercial DEQUEST® series, and chelants from Monsanto, DuPont, and Nalco, Inc. Aminocarboxylates useful as optional chelating agents include ethylenediaminetetracetates, N-hydroxyethylethylenediaminetriacetates, nitrilotriacetates, ethylenediamine tetraproprionates, triethylenetetraaminehexacetates, diethylenetriamine-pentaacetates, and ethanoldiglycines, alkali metal, ammonium, and substituted ammonium salts therein and mixtures therein. Aminophosphonates are also suitable for use as chelating agents in the compositions of the invention when at least low levels of total phosphoms are permitted in detergent compositions, and include ethylenediaminetetrakis (methylenephosphonates). Preferably, these aminophosphonates do not contain alkyl or alkenyl groups with more than about 6 carbon atoms. Polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic chelating agents are also useful in the compositions herein. See U.S. Patent 3,812,044, issued May 21, 1974, to Connor et al. Preferred compounds of this type in acid form are dihydroxydisulfobenzenes such as l,2-dihydroxy-3,5-disulfobenzene. A highly preferred biodegradable chelator for use herein is ethylenediamine disuccinate ("EDDS"), especially (but not limited to) the [S,S] isomer as described in U.S. Patent 4,704,233, November 3, 1987, to Hartman and Perkins. The trisodium salt is preferred though other forms, such as magnesium salts, may also be useful. If utilized, especially in ADD compositions, these chelating agents or transition-metal-selective sequestrants will preferably comprise from about 0.001% to about 10%, more preferably from about 0.05% to about 1% by weight of the bleaching compositions herein. Dispersant Polymers The compositions used in the methods of the present invention may also optionally contain from about 0.1% to about 20%, more preferably from about 0.5% to about 10%) by weight of the composition of a dispersant polymer. Dispersant polymers are compounds which act as soil suspending agents in the aqueous wash liquor. That is, they act to suspend the soils in solution and prevent the soils from re-depositing on the surfaces of fabrics or dishes. This allows soils to be removed with the wash liquor. Dispersant polymers are well-known and conventional and are available from BASF Corp. and Rohm & Haas. Typical examples include polyethoxylated amines and acrylic acid/maleic acid copolymers. Soil Release Agents The compositions according to the present invention may optionally comprise one or more soil release agents. Polymeric soil release agents are characterized by having both hydrophilic segments, to hydrophilize the surface of hydrophobic fibers, such as polyester and nylon, and hydrophobic segments, to deposit upon hydrophobic fibers and remain adhered thereto through completion of the laundry cycle and , thus, serve as an anchor for the hydrophilic segments. This can enable stains occuring subsequent to treatment with the soil release agent to be more easily cleaned in later washing procedures. If utilized, soil release agents will generally comprise from about 0.01% to about 10%) preferably from about 0.1% to about 5%, more preferably from about 0.2% to about 3% by weight, of the composition. The following, all included herein by reference, describe soil release polymers suitable for us in the present invention.

Further suitable soil release agents are described in U.S. 4,201,824 Voilland et al.; U.S. 4,240,918 Lagasse et al.; U.S. 4,525,524 Tung et al.; U.S. 4,579,681 Ruppert et al.; U.S. 4,220,918; U.S. 4,787,989; EP 279,134 A, 1988 to Rhone- Poulenc Chemie; EP 457,205 A to BASF (1991); and DE 2,335,044 to Unilever N.V., 1974; all incorporated herein by reference. Detersive Enzymes The compositions of the present invention may also include the presence of at least one detersive enzyme. "Detersive enzyme", as used herein, means any enzyme having a cleaning, stain removing or otherwise beneficial effect in a composition. Suitable optional enzymes include cellulases, hemicellulases, peroxidases, proteases, gluco-amylases, amylases, lipases, cutinases, pectinases, xylanases, reductases, oxidases, phenoloxidases, lipoxygenases, ligninases, pullulanases, tannases, pentosanases, malanases, β-glucanases, arabinosidases and mixtures thereof of any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin. Preferred detersive enzymes are hydrolases such as proteases, amylases and lipases. Highly preferred for automatic dishwashing are amylases and/or proteases, including both current commercially available types and improved types which, though more bleach compatible, have a remaining degree of bleach deactivation susceptibility. In general, as noted, preferred compositions herein comprise one or more detersive enzymes. If only one enzyme is used, it is preferably an amyolytic enzyme when the composition is for automatic dishwashing use. Highly preferred for automatic dishwashing is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes and amyloytic enzymes. More generally, the enzymes to be incorporated include proteases, amylases, lipases, cellulases, and peroxidases, as well as mixtures thereof. Other types of enzymes may also be included. They may be of any suitable origin, such as vegetable, animal, bacterial, fungal and yeast origin. However, their choice is governed by several factors such as pH-activity and/or stability optima, thermostability, stability versus active detergents, builders, etc. In this respect bacterial or fungal enzymes are preferred, such as bacterial amylases and proteases, and fungal cellulases. Enzymes are normally incorporated in the instant detergent compositions at levels sufficient to provide a "cleaning-effective amount". The term "cleaning- effective amount" refers to any amount capable of producing a cleaning, stain removal or soil removal effect on substrates such as fabrics, dishware and the like. Since enzymes are catalytic materials, such amounts may be very small. In practical terms for current commercial preparations, typical amounts are up to about 5 mg by weight, more typically about 0.01 mg to about 3 mg, of active enzyme per gram of the composition. Stated otherwise, the compositions herein will typically comprise from about 0.001% to about 6%, preferably 0.01%-1% by weight of a commercial enzyme preparation. Protease enzymes are usually present in such commercial preparations at levels sufficient to provide from 0.005 to 0.1 Anson units (AU) of activity per gram of composition. For automatic dishwashing purposes, it may be desirable to increase the active enzyme content of the commercial preparations, in order to minimize the total amount of non-catalytically active materials delivered and thereby improve spotting/filming results. Suitable examples of proteases are the subtilisins which are obtained from particular strains of B. subtilis and B. licheniformis. Another suitable protease is obtained from a strain of Bacillus, having maximum activity throughout the pH range of 8-12, developed and sold by Novo Industries A/S as ESPERASE®. The preparation of this enzyme and analogous enzymes is described in British Patent Specification No. 1,243,784 of Novo. Proteolytic enzymes suitable for removing protein-based stains that are commercially available include those sold under the tradenames ALCALASE® and SAVINASE® by Novo Industries A/S (Denmark) and MAXATASE® by International Bio-Synthetics, Inc. (The Netherlands). Other proteases include Protease A (see European Patent Application 130,756, published January 9, 1985) and Protease B (see European Patent Application Serial No. 87303761.8, filed April 28, 1987, and European Patent Application 130,756, Bott et al, published January 9, 1985). An especially preferred protease, referred to as "Protease D" is a carbonyl hydrolase variant having an amino acid sequence not found in nature, which is derived from a precursor carbonyl hydrolase by substituting a different amino acid for a plurality of amino acid residues at a position in said carbonyl hydrolase equivalent to position +76, preferably also in combination with one or more amino acid residue positions equivalent to those selected from the group consisting of +99, +101, +103, +104, +107, +123, +27, +105, +109, +126, +128, +135, +156, +166, +195, +197, +204, +206, +210, +216, +217, +218, +222, +260, +265, and/or +274 according to the numbering of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subtilisin, as described in WO 95/10615 published April 20, 1995 by Genencor International. Other preferred protease enzymes include protease enzymes which are a carbonyl hydrolase variant having an amino acid sequence not found in nature, which is derived by replacement of a plurality of amino acid residues of a precursor carbonyl hydrolase with different amino acids, wherein said plurality of amino acid residues replaced in the precursor enzyme correspond to position +210 in combination with one or more of the following residues: +33, +62, +67, +76, +100, +101, +103, +104, +107, +128, +129, +130, +132, +135, +156, +158, +164, +166, +167, +170, +209, +215, +217, +218 and +222, where the numbered positions correspond to naturally-occurring subtilisin from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens or to equivalent amino acid residues in other carbonyl hydrolases or subtilisins (such as Bacillus lentus subtilisin). Preferred enzymes according include those having position changes +210, +76, +103, +104, +156, and +166. Useful proteases are also described in PCT publications: WO 95/30010 published November 9, 1995 by The Procter & Gamble Company; WO 95/30011 published November 9, 1995 by The Procter & Gamble Company; WO 95/29979 published November 9, 1995 by The Procter & Gamble Company. Amylases suitable herein include, for example, α-amylases described in British Patent Specification No. 1,296,839 (Novo), RAPIDASE®, International Bio- Synthetics, Inc. and TERMAMYL®, Novo Industries. Preferred amylases herein have the commonalty of being derived using site- directed mutagenesis from one or more of the Baccillus amylases, especially the Bacillus alpha-amylases, regardless of whether one, two or multiple amylase strains are the immediate precursors. As noted, "oxidative stability-enhanced" amylases are preferred for use herein despite the fact that the invention makes them "optional but preferred" materials rather than essential. Such amylases are non-limitingly illustrated by the following: (a) An amylase according to the hereinbefore incorporated WO/94/02597, Novo Nordisk A/S, published Feb. 3, 1994, as further illustrated by a mutant in which substitution is made, using alanine or threonine (preferably threonine), of the methionine residue located in position 197 of the B. licheniformis alpha-amylase, known as TERMAMYL®, or the homologous position variation of a similar parent amylase, such as B. amyloliquefaciens, B. subtilis, or B.stearothermophilus; (b) Stability-enhanced amylases as described by Genencor International in a paper entitled "Oxidatively Resistant alpha-Amylases" presented at the 207th American Chemical Society National Meeting, March 13-17 1994, by C. Mitchinson. Therein it was noted that bleaches in automatic dishwashing detergents inactivate alpha-amylases but that improved oxidative stability amylases have been made by Genencor from B.licheniformis NCIB8061. Methionine (Met) was identified as the most likely residue to be modified. Met was substituted, one at a time, in positions 8,15,197,256,304,366 and 438 leading to specific mutants, particularly important being M197L and M197T with the M197T variant being the most stable expressed variant. Stability was measured in CASCADE® and SUNLIGHT®; (c) Also preferred herein are amylase variants having additional modification in the immediate parent available from Novo Nordisk A/S and are those referred to by the supplier under the tradename DURMAMYL®; (d) Particularly preferred are amylase variants as disclosed in WO95/26397 and in the co-pending application to Novo Nordisk PCT/DK96/00056 and characterized by having a specific activity at least 25% higher than the specific activity of Termamyl® at a temperature range of 25°C to 55°C and at a pH value in the range of 8 to 10, measured by the Phadebas® α-amylase activity assay and is obtained from an alkalophilic Bacillus species (such as the strains NCIB 12289, NCIB 12512, NCIB 12513 and DSM 935) comprising the following amino acid sequence in the N-terminal: His-His-Asn-Gly-Thr-Asn-Gly-Thr-Met-Met-Gln-Tyr- Phe-Glu-Trp-Tyr-Leu-Pro-Asn-Asp Cellulases usable in, but not preferred, for the present invention include both bacterial or fungal cellulases. Typically, they will have a pH optimum of between 5 and 9.5. Suitable cellulases are disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,435,307, Barbesgoard et al, issued March 6, 1984, which discloses fungal cellulase produced from Humicola insolens and Humicola strain DSM1800 or a cellulase 212-producing fungus belonging to the genus Aeromonas, and cellulase extracted from the hepatopancreas of a marine mollusk (Dolabella Auricula Solander). Suitable cellulases are also disclosed in GB-A-2.075.028; GB-A-2.095.275 and DE-OS-2.247.832. CAREZYME® (Novo) is especially useful. Suitable lipase enzymes for detergent use include those produced by microorganisms of the Pseudomonas group, such as Pseudomonas stutzeri ATCC 19.154, as disclosed in British Patent 1,372,034. See also lipases in Japanese Patent Application 53,20487, laid open to public inspection on February 24, 1978. This lipase is available from Amano Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Nagoya, Japan, under the trade name Lipase P "Amano," hereinafter referred to as "Amano-P." Other commercial lipases include Amano-CES, lipases ex Chromobacter viscosum, e.g. Chromobacter viscosum var. lipolyticum NRRLB 3673, commercially available from Toyo Jozo Co., Tagata, Japan; and further Chromobacter viscosum lipases from U.S. Biochemical Corp., U.S.A. and Disoynth Co., The Netherlands, and lipases ex Pseudomonas gladioli. The LIPOLASE® enzyme derived from Humicola lanuginosa and commercially available from Novo (see also EPO 341,947) is a preferred lipase for use herein. Another preferred lipase enzyme is the D96L variant of the native Humicola lanuginosa lipase, as described in WO 92/05249 and Research Disclosure No. 35944, March 10, 1994, both published by Novo. In general, lipolytic enzymes are less preferred than amylases and/or proteases for automatic dishwashing embodiments of the present invention. Peroxidase enzymes can be used in combination with oxygen sources, e.g., percarbonate, perborate, persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, etc. They are typically used for "solution bleaching," i.e. to prevent transfer of dyes or pigments removed from substrates during wash operations to other substrates in the wash solution. Peroxidase enzymes are known in the art, and include, for example, horseradish peroxidase, ligninase, and haloperoxidase such as chloro- and bromo-peroxidase. Peroxidase-containing detergent compositions are disclosed, for example, in PCT International Application WO 89/099813, published October 19, 1989, by O. Kirk, assigned to Novo Industries A/S. The present invention encompasses peroxidase- free automatic dishwashing composition embodiments. A wide range of enzyme materials and means for their incorporation into synthetic detergent compositions are also disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,553,139, issued January 5, 1971 to McCarty et al. Enzymes are further disclosed in U.S. Patent 4,101,457, Place et al, issued July 18, 1978, and in U.S. Patent 4,507,219, Hughes, issued March 26, 1985. Enzymes for use in detergents can be stabilized by various techniques. Enzyme stabilization techniques are disclosed and exemplified in U.S. Patent 3,600,319, issued August 17, 1971 to Gedge, et al, and European Patent Application Publication No. 0 199 405, Application No. 86200586.5, published October 29, 1986, Venegas. Enzyme stabilization systems are also described, for example, in U.S. Patent 3,519,570. Brightener Any optical brighteners or other brightening or whitening agents known in the art can be present at levels typically from about 0.05% to about 1.2%, by weight, in the compositions used herein. Commercial optical brighteners which may be useful in the present invention can be classified into subgroups, which include, but are not necessarily limited to, derivatives of stilbene, pyrazoline, coumarin, carboxylic acid, methinecyanines, dibenzothiphene-5,5-dioxide, azoles, 5- and 6- membered-ring heterocycles, and other miscellaneous agents. Examples of such brighteners are disclosed in "The Production and Application of Fluorescent Brightening Agents", M. Zahradnik, Published by John Wiley & Sons, New York (1982). Specific examples of optical brighteners which are useful in the present compositions are those identified in U.S. Patent 4,790,856, issued to Wixon on December 13, 1988. These brighteners include the PHORWHITE series of brighteners from Verona. Other brighteners disclosed in this reference include: Tinopal UNPA, Tinopal CBS and Tinopal 5BM; available from Ciba-Geigy; Artie White CC and Artie White CWD, available from Hilton-Davis, located in Italy; the 2-(4-stryl-phenyl)-2H-napthol[l,2-d]triazoles; 4,4'-bis- (l,2,3-triazol-2-yl)-stil- benes; 4,4'-bis(stryl)bisphenyls; and the aminocoumarins. Specific examples of these brighteners include 4-methyl-7-diethyl- amino coumarin; l,2-bis(- venzimidazol-2-yl)ethylene; 1 ,3-diphenyl-phrazolines; 2,5-bis(benzoxazol-2- yl)thiophene; 2-stryl-napth-[l,2-d]oxazole; and 2-(stilbene-4-yl)-2H-naphtho- [1,2- dltriazole. See also U.S. Patent 3,646,015, issued February 29, 1972 to Hamilton. Anionic brighteners are preferred herein. Other additives Usual ingredients can include one or more materials for assisting or enhancing cleaning performance, treatment of the substrate to be cleaned, or to modify the aesthetics of the composition. Usual detersive adjuncts of detergent compositions include the ingredients set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,936,537, Baskerville et al. Adjuncts which can also be used in the compositions employed in the present invention, in their conventional art-established levels for use (generally from 0% to about 20% of the detergent ingredients, preferably from about 0.5% to about 10%>), include other active ingredients such as enzyme stabilizers, color speckles, anti-tarnish and/or anti-corrosion agents, dyes, fillers, optical brighteners, germicides, alkalinity sources, hydrotropes, anti-oxidants, enzyme stabilizing agents, perfumes, dyes, solubilizing agents, clay soil removal/anti-redeposition agents, carriers, processing aids, pigments, solvents for liquid formulations, fabric softeners, static control agents, solid fillers for bar compositions, etc. Dye transfer inhibiting agents, including polyamine N-oxides such as polyvinylpyridine N-oxide can be used. Dye-transfer-inhibiting agents are further illustrated by polyvinylpyrrolidone and copolymers of N-vinyl imidazole and N-vinyl pyrrolidone. If high sudsing is desired, suds boosters such as the CjQ-Cig alkanolamides can be incorporated into the compositions, typically at 1%-10% levels. The C10-C14 monoethanol and diethanol amides illustrate a typical class of such suds boosters. Use of such suds boosters with high sudsing adjunct surfactants such as the amine oxides, betaines and sultaines noted above is also advantageous. If desired, soluble magnesium salts such as MgCl2, MgSO4, and the like, can be added at levels of, typically, 0.1%-2%, to provide additional suds and to enhance grease removal performance. Various detersive ingredients employed in the present compositions optionally can be further stabilized by absorbing said ingredients onto a porous hydrophobic substrate, then coating said substrate with a hydrophobic coating. Preferably, the detersive ingredient is admixed with a surfactant before being absorbed into the porous substrate. In use, the detersive ingredient is released from the substrate into the aqueous washing liquor, where it performs its intended detersive function. To illustrate this technique in more detail, a porous hydrophobic silica (trademark SIPERNAT D10, DeGussa) is admixed with a proteolytic enzyme solution containing 3%>-5%> of C13.15 ethoxylated alcohol (EO 7) nonionic surfactant. Typically, the enzyme/surfactant solution is 2.5 X the weight of silica. The resulting powder is dispersed with stirring in silicone oil (various silicone oil viscosities in the range of 500-12,500 can be used). The resulting silicone oil dispersion is emulsified or otherwise added to the final detergent matrix. By this means, ingredients such as the aforementioned enzymes, bleaches, bleach activators, bleach catalysts, photoactivators, dyes, fluorescers, fabric conditioners and hydrolyzable surfactants can be "protected" for use in detergents, including liquid laundry detergent compositions. Form of composition The compositions of the present invention can be in any of the conventional forms. This includes, but is not limited to, solids, bars, powders, granules, both high bulk density 550g/l or higher and the so-called "fluffy" granules with a bulk density of 400 g/1 or less, tablets, liquids, both aqueous and non-aqueous, liquid-gels and flakes. Liquid Compositions The present invention can use a liquid including the aforementioned ingredients. Liquid compositions, including gels, typically contain some water and other fluids as carriers. Low molecular weight primary or secondary alcohols exemplified by methanol, ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol are suitable. Monohydric alcohols are preferred for solubilizing surfactant, but polyols such as those containing from 2 to about 6 carbon atoms and from 2 to about 6 hydroxy groups (e.g., 1,3-propanediol, ethylene glycol, glycerine, and 1 ,2-propanediol) can also be used. The compositions may contain from 5% to 90%>, typically 10% to 50%> of such carriers. Methods using liquid compositions according to the present invention are formulated acidic to deliver an in-use alkaline pH. Formulation pH is generally from about 2 to about 5 and preferably from about 2.5 to about 4.5. In-use pH is generally from about 7 to about 9.5, preferably from about 7.5 to about 8.5. The use of lower formulation pH provides for more stability of the cyclic imido activator in solution. Furthermore, when formulating liquid compositions, the source of hydrogen peroxide, if any, is preferably hydrogen peroxide itself. Coating Various detersive ingredients employed in the compositions used in the present invention can optionally be further stabilized by absorbing the ingredients onto a porous hydrophobic substrate, then coating the substrate with a hydrophobic coating. Preferably, the detersive ingredient is admixed with a surfactant before being adsorbed into the aqueous washing liquor, where it performs its intended detersive function. To illustrate this technique in more detail, a porous hydrophobic silica (trademark SIPERNAT®D10, Degussa) is admixed with a proteolytic enzyme solution containing 3%-5% of C13.15 ethoxylated alcohol (EO 7) nonionic surfactant. Typically, the enzyme/surfactant solution is 2.5X the weight of silica. The resulting powder is dispersed with stirring in silicone oil (various silicone oil viscosities in the range of 500-12,500 can be used). The resulting silicone oil dispersion is emulsified or otherwise added to the final detergent matrix. By this means, ingredients such as the aforementioned enzymes, bleaches, bleach activators, bleach catalysts, photoactivators, dyes, fluorescers, fabric conditioners and hydrolyzable surfactants can be "protected" for use in detergents, including liquid laundry detergent compositions. Granular Compositions Various means and equipment are available to prepare high density (i.e., greater than about 550, preferably greater than about 650, grams/liter or "g/1"), high solubility, free-flowing, granular detergent compositions according to the present invention. Current commercial practice in the field employs spray-drying towers to manufacture granular laundry detergents which often have a density less than about 500 g/1. In this procedure, an aqueous slurry of various heat-stable ingredients in the final detergent composition are formed into homogeneous granules by passage through a spray-drying tower, using conventional techniques, at temperatures of about 175°C to about 225°C. However, if spray drying is used as part of the overall process herein, additional process steps as described hereinafter must be used to obtain the level of density (i.e., > 650 g/1) required by modem compact, low dosage detergent products. For example, spray-dried granules from a tower can be densified further by loading a liquid such as water or a nonionic surfactant into the pores of the granules and/or subjecting them to one or more high speed mixer/densifiers. A suitable high speed mixer/densifier for this process is a device marketed under the tradename "Lδdige CB 30" or "Lδdige CB 30 Recycler" which comprises a static cylindrical mixing drum having a central rotating shaft with mixing/cutting blades mounted thereon. In use, the ingredients for the detergent composition are introduced into the drum and the shaft/blade assembly is rotated at speeds in the range of 100-2500 rpm to provide thorough mixing/densification. See Jacobs et al, U.S. Patent 5,149,455, issued September 22, 1992. The preferred residence time in the high speed mixer/densifier is from about 1 to 60 seconds. Other such apparatus includes the devices marketed under the tradename "Shugi Granulator" and under the tradename "Drais K-TTP 80). Another process step which can be used to densify further spray-dried granules involves grinding and agglomerating or deforming the spray-dried granules in a moderate speed mixer/densifier so as to obtain particles having lower intraparticle porosity. Equipment such as that marketed under the tradename "Lόdige KM" (Series 300 or 600) or "Lδdige Ploughshare" mixer/densifiers are suitable for this process step. Such equipment is typically operated at 40-160 rpm. The residence time of the detergent ingredients in the moderate speed mixer/densifier is from about 0.1 to 12 minutes conveniently measured by dividing the steady state mixer/densifier weight by the throughput (e.g., Kg/hr). Other useful equipment includes the device which is available under the tradename "Drais K-T 160". This process step which employs a moderate speed mixer/densifier (e.g. Lόdige KM) can be used by itself or sequentially with the aforementioned high speed mixer/densifier (e.g. Lόdige CB) to achieve the desired density. Other types of granules manufacturing apparatus useful herein include the apparatus disclosed in U.S. Patent 2,306,898, to G. L. Heller, December 29, 1942. While it may be more suitable to use the high speed mixer/densifier followed by the low speed mixer/densifier, the reverse sequential mixer/densifier configuration is also contemplated by the invention. One or a combination of various parameters including residence times in the mixer/densifiers, operating temperatures of the equipment, temperature and/or composition of the granules, the use of adjunct ingredients such as liquid binders and flow aids, can be used to optimize densification of the spray-dried granules in the process of the invention. By way of example, see the processes in Appel et al, U.S. Patent 5,133,924, issued July 28, 1992 (granules are brought into a deformable state prior to densification); Delwel et al, U.S. Patent 4,637,891, issued January 20, 1987 (granulating spray- dried granules with a liquid binder and aluminosilicate); Kruse et al, U.S. Patent 4,726,908, issued February 23, 1988 (granulating spray-dried granules with a liquid binder and aluminosilicate); and, Bortolotti et al, U.S. Patent 5,160,657, issued November 3, 1992 (coating densified granules with a liquid binder and aluminosilicate). In those situations in which particularly heat sensitive or highly volatile detergent ingredients are to be incorporated into the final detergent composition, processes which do not include spray drying towers are preferred. The formulator can eliminate the spray-drying step by feeding, in either a continuous or batch mode, starting detergent ingredients directly into mixing/densifying equipment that is commercially available. One particularly preferred embodiment involves charging a surfactant paste and an anhydrous builder material into a high speed mixer/densifier (e.g. Lόdige CB) followed by a moderate speed mixer/densifier (e.g. Lδdige KM) to form high density detergent agglomerates. See Capeci et al, U.S. Patent 5,366,652, issued November 22, 1994 and Capeci et al, U.S. Patent 5,486,303, issued January 23, 1996. Optionally, the liquid/solids ratio of the starting detergent ingredients in such a process can be selected to obtain high density agglomerates that are more free flowing and crisp. Optionally, the process may include one or more recycle streams of undersized particles produced by the process which are fed back to the mixer/densifiers for further agglomeration or build-up. The oversized particles produced by this process can be sent to grinding apparatus and then fed back to the mixing/densifying equipment. These additional recycle process steps facilitate build-up agglomeration of the starting detergent ingredients resulting in a finished composition having a uniform distribution of the desired particle size (400-700 microns) and density (> 550 g/1). See Capeci et al, U.S. Patent 5,516,448, issued May 14, 1996 and Capeci et al, U.S. Patent 5,489,392, issued February 6, 1996. Other suitable processes which do not call for the use of spray-drying towers are described by Bollier et al, U.S. Patent 4,828,721, issued May 9, 1989; Beerse et al, U.S. Patent 5,108,646, issued April 28, 1992; and, Jolicoeur, U.S. Patent 5,178,798, issued January 12, 1993. In yet another embodiment, the high density detergent composition of the invention can be produced using a fluidized bed mixer. In this process, the various ingredients of the finished composition are combined in an aqueous slurry (typically 80% solids content) and sprayed into a fluidized bed to provide the finished detergent granules. Prior to the fluidized bed, this process can optionally include the step of mixing the slurry using the aforementioned Lόdige CB mixer/densifier or a "Flexomix 160" mixer/densifier, available from Shugi. Fluidized bed or moving beds of the type available under the tradename "Escher Wyss" can be used in such processes. Another suitable process which can be used herein involves feeding a liquid acid precursor of an anionic surfactant, an alkaline inorganic material (e.g. sodium carbonate) and optionally other detergent ingredients into a high speed mixer/densifier (residence time 5-30 seconds) so as to form agglomerates containing a partially or totally neutralized anionic surfactant salt and the other starting detergent ingredients. Optionally, the contents in the high speed mixer/densifier can be sent to a moderate speed mixer/densifier (e.g. Lόdige KM) for further agglomeration resulting in the finished high density detergent composition. See Appel et al, U.S. Patent 5,164,108, issued November 17, 1992. Optionally, high density detergent compositions according to the invention can be produced by blending conventional or densified spray-dried detergent granules with detergent agglomerates in various proportions (e.g. a 60:40 weight ratio of granules to agglomerates) produced by one or a combination of the processes discussed herein. Additional adjunct ingredients such as enzymes, perfumes, brighteners and the like can be sprayed or admixed with the agglomerates, granules or mixtures thereof produced by the processes discussed herein. Another process for the manufacture of granules for use in the novel process comprises the steps of: (i) preparing a mix of solids, and optionally liquids, comprising the bleach activator; (ii) extmding the mix through a die under pressure to form an extrudate; (iii) breaking the extrudate to form a spheronised extrudate; and (iv) optionally coating the particles to improve friability and flow characteristics. The mixing step (i) is carried out using any conventional powder/liquid mixer, e.g. a Loedige KM mixer. The extmding step (ii) can be achieved using any conventional extmder which can be axial, radial or more preferably dome-type, e.g. Fuji Paudal Model DGL-1, most preferably having a die with O.lmm orifices and extmded at pressures of about 20 bar. Step (iii) is preferably carried out using a rotating disc spheroniser such as a Fuji Paudal QJ-1000 where the extmdates are broken down into short lengths and formed into substantially spherical particles. Additionally, the extmdates may then be dried in a vibrating fluid bed drier, e.g. Niro, to result in crisp, free-flowing particles with a particle size range of from 0.25mm to 20mm and a Heubach dust measurement of less than 1 OOmg/g. The optional coating step (iv) could involve materials such as film forming polymers or preferably a liquid fixative, e.g. nonionic surfactant and an inert powder such as Zeolite A. See WO9800504, published January 8, 1998 and WO 97277280, published July 31, 1997. The present invention will now be described by reference to the following examples.
