  • What is a pH neutral cleaner?


Understanding what pH neutral means will help us determine whether or not a product is deemed safe and suitable for use on any particular surface or fabric. A pH neutral cleaner is one that has a neutral pH level, a pH level measures the acid and alkalinity of something. While a truly neutral solution has a pH level of 7, pH neutral cleaners are typically considered to have a pH level between 6 and 8. Considering pH levels when selecting cleaning products is critical to avoid damaging surfaces. When a surface requires a pH neutral cleaner, something like natural stones for example, this means avoiding anything too acidic, like vinegar or anything too alkaline like bleach or ammonia.
