Disclosed are detergent compositions containing a combination of exo-cellobiohydrolase 1 type cellulase components and endoglucanase type components wherein the exo-cellobiohydrolase 1 type cellulase components are enriched relative to the endoglucanase type components. The detergent compositions provide cleaning and softening of cotton garments while also providing substantially reduced degradation of the cotton fabric in the garment. L'invention concerne des compositions détergentes contenant une combinaison de composants de cellulase de type exo-cellulobiohydrolase 1 et des composants de type endoglucanase. Les composants de cellulase de type exo-cellulobiohydrolase 1 sont enrichis par rapport aux composants de type endoglucanase. Les compositions détergentes permettent le nettoyage et l'adoucissement de vêtements en coton tout en réduisant sensiblement la dégradation de tissus en coton des vêtements.
