Most are a strong base, alkaline. Oven cleaners usually contain sodium hydroxide (lye) or something similar.

What is the pH value of oven cleaner?

Oven cleaners can be divided into two main groups, those that work and those that don't! Those that work usually have pH grater then 12. see: www.oven-cleaning-guide.com/a/alkaline-oven-cleaner The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14, with 1 being extremely acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being extremely alkaline. Strong alkali things are also called strong bases, and they have high pH values. (about 10 to 14). Fat and carbon are easily dissolved in reaction with alkaline solutions. This is why alkaline oven cleaners (pH: 12-14) are very efficient in cleaning greasy ovens. The more alkaline the oven cleaner, the better the results you'll get. But good/powerful oven cleaners should contain more essential ingredients (besides being alkaline) in order to be effective! It should have the ability to cling to the oven walls and to dissolve carbon in cold action. see www.oven-cleaning-guide.com/welldone-oven-cleaner Weak alkali things, or weak bases, have pH values slightly greater than 7 (7 to about 10) Neutral water is of course pH 7. Weak alkali detergents are usually not suitable for removing baked-on fat (carbon). Slightly acidic things have a pH slightly below 7 (4-7), and strong acids have pH below that (0-4).

If an egg white is a weak alkali and oven cleaner is a strong alkali will the pH of the egg white be higher or lower than the pH of the oven cleaner and why?

The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14, with 1 being extremely acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being extremely alkaline. The pH of the egg white will be lower than that of the over cleaner. Strong alkali things are also called strong bases, and they have high pH values. (about 10 to 14). Fat and carbon are easily dissolved in reaction with alkaline solutions. This is why alkaline detergents (pH: 12-14) are very efficient in cleaning greasy ovens. The more alkaline the oven cleaner, the better the results you'll get. But good/powerful oven cleaners should contain more essential ingredients (besides being alkaline) in order to be effective! It should have the ability to cling to the oven walls and to dissolve carbon in cold action. see www.oven-cleaning-guide.com/welldone-oven-cleaner Weak alkali things, or weak bases, have pH values slightly greater than 7 (7 to about 10) Neutral water is of course pH 7. Weak alkali detergents are usually not suitable for removing baked-on fat (carbon) from soiled oven. Slightly acidic things have a pH slightly below 7 (4-7), and strong acids have pH below that (0-4).

What is oven cleaner in base?

Commercial oven cleaners are often basic or alkaline solution based (sodium hydroxide/caustic soda). Oven cleaners can be divided into two main groups, those that work and those that don't! * Oven cleaners that "work" usually have pH greater than 7 (basic or alkaline solution). * Fat and carbon are easily dissolved in reaction with alkaline solutions. This is why alkaline detergents are used to clean greasy ovens. The more alkaline the oven cleaner, the better the results you'll get. * Of course, good/powerful oven cleaners should contain more essential ingredients (besides being alkaline) in order to be really effective and at the same time remain relatively safe. * Since our skin likes pH-7 (i.e. balanced pH), any solution lower or greater than pH-7 getting in touch with the skin, might cause irritation or even damage. Therefore, protect your hands with rubber gloves, protect your eyes and open a window for ventilation when using alkaline oven cleaner. * "Eco friendly" oven cleaners are simple washing up liquid in many cases. They are very limited in effect and will take much longer to work. These are the oven cleaners that "don't work"!


What is the effect of oven cleaner on kitchen countertops?

Oven cleaner is rather acidic and strong. It should not be used on countertops as it can strip the food grade sealant placed on the material. It can stain, leave harsh residue behind and cause illness if accidentally ingested.
