Stable solid compositions employing a water conditioning agent, including hygroscopic species or non-hygroscopic species. In particular, solid compositions combining an ionic surfactant or an amphoteric surfactant with a water conditioning agent, preferably a polyacrylate water conditioning agent, are disclosed. The ionic surfactant or amphoteric surfactant beneficially stabilize the polymer and/or chelant water conditioning agent, preferably a polyacrylate water conditioning agent, to permit formulation into a solid composition and provide stability under harsh conditions, including humid environments. Applications of using the stable solid compositions are also disclosed.

A hard surface cleaning composition comprising: a) from about 1% to about 60% by weight of the composition of a surfactant system, wherein said surfactant system comprises an anionic surfactant and amphoteric/zwitterionic system wherein the amphoteric to zwitterionic weight ratio is from about 2:1 to about 1:2, wherein said amphoteric surfactant comprises an alkyl dimethyl amine oxide; and b) from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the composition of a cleaning amine of Formula(I): ##STR00001## wherein the radicals R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are independently selected from NH2, H, linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl having from about 1 to about 10 carbon atoms and n is from 1 to 3 and wherein at least one of the radicals is NH2.
