               6.  An aqueous cleaning composition comprising:  (A) from              
          about 1 to about 50% by weight of one or more anionic                       
          surfactants having 1 or 2 lipophilic groups each of which has               
          from 1 to 22 carbon atoms and a polar group selected from the               
          group consisting of a carboxylate, a sulfate, and a sulfonate               
          group; (B) from about 0.5 to about 10% by weight of one or                  
          more alkyl glycosides of the formula                                        
                              R(G)x                                                   
          wherein R is a linear, saturated C  alkyl group, (G) is a                   
                                            8-22                                      
          glycoside or oligoglycoside moiety, and x is a number from 1                
          to 4; (C) from about 0.1 to about 5% by weight of an anionic                
          polymer; (D) from about 35 to about 98.4% by weight of water;               
          wherein the sum total of components (B) and (C) is no greater               
          than the amount of component (A).                                           

               The sole prior art reference of record relied upon by the
