A cleaning liquid can be either. Soap, for example tends to have a base component to it. Bleach is very base.
Other items can have an acidic element to them. Drain cleaner is an acid based item.
Mixing the two is not a recommended idea.
It's an acid
It will neutralise the alkali and then turn the liquid to an acid.
Ammonia cleaning fluid is an alkali.
washing up liquid is an alkali as it neautralises acids .
For an acid, the solution remains colourless or unchanged. For an alkali, it would turn fuschia.
A soap has alkali in it because it is a cleaning product
This liquid is acidic. It is most commonly a mixture of 65% Distilled Water and 35% Sulfuric Acid.
No an alkali is the opposite of an acid. Alkali = basic; acid = acidic.
Yes, it is. You can tell weather something is an Alkali, Neutral pr acid via the pH scale or, you can tell if something is an alkali from its consistency; if it is sludgy (like washing-up liquid), it is an alkali. So, I am under the influence that washing-up POWDER is too, an alkali.J.S.P. Aged 11

Acids and alkalis are commonly used in many homes. One of the most common household acids is vinegar (2-3% acetic acid), which is used in cooking and in light cleaning. A common alkali is ammonia, which is often used as a cleaning agent as well.
