Abstract
Water-soluble detergents and enzymes are used for mechanically cleaning textiles or crockery. According to the invention, enzymes with a catalytic effect on typical stains are added to the washing or cleaning process, only for as long as their catalytic effect is desired. This avoids superfluous removal of the enzymes that have been used in a washing or cleaning process.

9. A washing apparatus, such as a dishwasher or washing machine, for cleaning textiles or solid objects, such as crockery, using enzymes and at least one of water-soluble detergents and cleaning agents, comprising:
-
at least a washing liquid container with a source of washing liquid;
an enzyme container containing catalytically-acting enzymes connected with structure to circulate said washing liquid through said container in a washing or cleaning process for removing typical stains for an initial time period as water is being added to said process when the catalytic effect is desired; and
structure for stopping said circulating of said washing liquid through said catalytically-acting enzymes in said washing or cleaning process after said initial time period before adding at least one of the water-soluble detergents and cleaning agents to said washing liquid container in said washing or cleaning process for a second time period. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
