Expert Analysis

This is a traditional high-alkaline all-purpose cleaner built around trisodium nitrilotriacetate as the primary cleaning and chelating agent. The extremely high pH of 12.5 enables effective saponification of oils and grease while the chelating system handles mineral deposits.

Key Differentiators

  • Very high pH (12.5) for aggressive cleaning
  • Nitrilotriacetate chelating system for hard water performance
  • Professional-grade formulation with significant hazard warnings

Potential Concerns

  • Extremely high pH requires careful handling and PPE
  • Corrosive to metals and can cause serious eye damage
  • Contains suspected carcinogen (nitrilotriacetate)
  • Not suitable for sensitive surfaces
