Solid detergent compositions designed to maintain solid integrity throughout production of the pressed solid, during mechanical conveying and during ejection from molds, are disclosed. Solid detergent compositions having unexpected immediate block hardness without a curing step are provided by inclusion of a hardness additive composition comprising a synergistic ratio of polycarboxylic acid polymer chelants to aminocarboxylate chelants. Methods of making solid detergent compositions and solid detergent compositions having at least substantially similar cleaning performance to solid detergent compositions without the hardness additive composition are also provided.

Hardness additives comprising an acrylate/aminocarboxylate mixture and block detergents containing said mixture to improve edge hardening

Hardness additives comprising an aminocarboxylate chelant mixture and block detergents containing this mixture to improve edge hardening

Hardness additives and block detergents containing hardness additives to improve edge hardening

A detergent composition as described which can be utilized in a variety of applications for cleaning surfaces and objects, removing suspended soils, and rinsing easily. The detergent composition is particularly effective at removing soils caused by raw fish soil.
