Expert Analysis
This concentrate relies on potassium hydroxide as its primary alkaline builder to break down dirt and grease through saponification and pH elevation. The wide dilution range (1:3 to 1:15) allows users to adjust cleaning strength based on soil level and surface sensitivity, with stronger ratios for heavy degreasing and weaker ratios for delicate materials.
Key Differentiators
- •Extremely wide dilution range accommodates everything from delicate upholstery cleaning to heavy engine degreasing
- •Potassium hydroxide-based alkalinity provides effective grease cutting while remaining biodegradable
