A liquid bleach composition comprises a hydrogen peroxide precursor which includes as an enzyme an alcohol oxidase and as a substrate for the enzyme the corresponding alcohol, the enzyme and the substrate being incapable of substantial interaction in the composition. The composition contains less than 1 unit of catalase for every 2 units of the alcohol oxidase so that peroxide formation, when the composition is diluted with 100 times its volume of water to trigger the interaction of the enzyme and its substrate, it not substantially impaired. The diluted composition has a pH value of from 7.5 to 11. Preferably, the composition also comprises detergent active compound. |

4 alkanol oxidase enzyme, and (b) from 5 to 25% by weight of the composition of a C.
sub.
1 to C.
sub.
4 alkanol substrate; the enzyme and substrate being incapable of substantial interaction in the composition to form hydrogen peroxide until the composition is diluted with water; the composition containing less than 1 unit of catalase for every 2 units of alkanol oxidase; and the composition on dilution with 100 times its volume of water having a pH value of from 7.
5 to 11.
2.
The composition according to claim 1, wherein the enzyme is selected from the group consisting of methanol oxidase, ethanol oxidase, n-propanol oxidase, n-butanol oxidase and mixtures thereof.
3.
The composition according to claim 1, wherein the substrate is selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol and mixtures thereof.
4.
The composition according to claim 1, which comprises from 100 to 500 units of the enzyme per ml of the composition.
5.
The composition according to claim 1, which comprises less than 1 unit of catalase for every 10 units of alkanol oxidase.
6.
The composition according to claim 5, which comprises less than 1 unit of catalase for every 100 units of alkanol oxidase.
7.
The composition according to claim 6, which is substantially free from catalase.
8.
The composition according to claim 1, wherein the substrate forms from 5 to 20% by weight of the composition.
9.
The composition according to claim 1, which on dilution with 100 times its weight of water at a temperature of 40.
degree.
C.
and at a pH value of 9 yields hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of at least 5 mM.
10.
The composition according to claim 1, which further comprises a suspending agent.
11.
The composition according to claim 1, which additionally comprises a bleach activator.
12.
The composition according to claim 11, wherein the bleach activator is an organic bleach activator selected from the group consisting of N,N,N',N'-tetraacetyl ethylenediamine, N,N,N',N'-tetraacetyl methylenediamine, succinic anhydride, benzoic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, sodium acetoxybenzene sulphonate, sodium p-sulphonated phenyl benzoate, glucose pentaacetate, xylose tetraacetate, acetyl salicylic acid and mixtures thereof
