## Abstract

The present invention relates to low sudsing hard surface cleaning compositions comprising a dianionic sulfosuccinamate and a polyethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant which provides non-streaking and non-filming benefits. The compositions of the present invention are effective on clear and colorless, shiny, or "semi-gloss" surfaces.

## Claims

### Claim 1

a) at least about 0.1% by weight, of a sulfosuccinamate having the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen or --SO.sub.3 M.sup.2 provided R.sup.1 does not equal R.sup.2 ; M and M.sup.2 are independently hydrogen or a salt forming cation;
b) at least about 0.1% by weight, of a nonionic surfactant having the formula
CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.x CH.sub.2 O(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.y H
wherein x is from about 6 to about 12, y is from about 3.5 to about 10; and
c)the balance carriers and adjunct ingredients.
