The need for a hand-dishwashing composition which is highly effective at removing grease, providing long-lasting suds under soiled conditions, while having a Newtonian viscosity which is less sensitive to changes on surfactant and solvent levels, is met by formulating the liquid hand dishwashing cleaning composition to comprise a surfactant system having a combination of alkyl sulphate anionic surfactant having little or no alkoxylation and an alkyl polyglucoside surfactant.
