What Does PH-Balanced Mean?
If you've ever dismissed the term 'pH neutral' as marketing gimmicks, you might want to reconsider.

A pH-neutral cleaner, sitting between acidic and alkaline, implies gentleness without harsh chemicals.
Numerous pH-neutral cleaners are available, with varying degrees of effectiveness. When dealing with delicate materials like concrete, using the right pH-neutral cleaner is essential to prevent unnecessary damage.
