(A) a complexing agent selected from methylglycine diacetic acid (MGDA) that is at least partially neutralized with alkali metal, and at least one complexing agent other than MGDA selected from

(B) glutamic acid diacetic acid (GLDA) that is at least partially neutralized with alkali metal, and, optionally,

(C) a polymer being selected from polyamines, the N atoms being partially or fully substituted with CH.sub.2COOH groups, partially or fully neutralized with alkali metal cations, and, optionally,

(D) at least one alkali metal salt of an organic acid, said acid being selected from mono- and dicarboxylic acids,

Acidic viscoelastic cleaning compositions are disclosed which use non polymer thickening agents. According to the invention, cleaning compositions have been developed using viscoelastic surfactants in acidic cleaning formulations. These provide the dual benefit of thickening as well as an additional cleaning, thereby improving performance. Applicants have also identified several pseudo linking agents which when, used with viscoelastic surfactants provide enhanced viscoelasticity and cleaning.

Industrial 2-in-1 cleaning compositions providing both detergency and rinseability in a single cleaning composition comprising a polymer are disclosed. Alkali metal carbonate-based cleaning compositions and methods of both making and using the same provide user-friendly, solid, detergent compositions without the need for using a separate rinse aid composition. The compositions and methods are particularly well suited for use in industrial cleaning using alkali metal carbonate compositions that beneficially provide cleaning and rinseability in the rinse cycle.
