Well, soap, detergents blah blah washes off dirt, oil and other dirty objects. They have a substance in them called Alkaline. Alkaline is an object that washes objects off, or pushes things off to make move for itself.
Like detergent, it washes off oil. The alkaline in the detergent makes the oil lumps smaller, and that makes the oil easier to slide off the object.
The pH scale, 1 to 14. 7 is water, which doesn't melt or move anything. below 7 to 1 is acid, and from 7 to 14 is alkaline. So, the number that is bigger than 7, will have a stronger alkaline base.
That means that if an alkaline is 8, and another is 9, then the 9 is stronger than 8.
Substances that have a pH above 7 are considered alkaline. Examples include baking soda, soap, and some household cleaners.
Surface cleaners can be either acidic or alkaline, depending on the formulation and purpose of the product. Acidic cleaners are effective for removing mineral deposits and soap scum, while alkaline cleaners are better at breaking down grease and grime. It's important to choose the right type of cleaner for the surface you are trying to clean to ensure the best results.
Alkaline cleaners are generally more effective and safer for cleaning concrete than acid cleaners. Acidic cleaners can etch and damage the surface of the concrete if not used properly. Alkaline cleaners are better at breaking down oils and grease commonly found on concrete surfaces.
Cleaners are more alkaline because alkaline substances are better at breaking down grease, oil, and dirt compared to acidic substances. The high pH of alkaline cleaners allows them to emulsify and lift these types of stains effectively, making them a preferred choice for cleaning tasks that involve heavy soiling.
The pH of cleaning products can vary widely depending on the specific formulation. However, many common household cleaning products such as dish soap and all-purpose cleaners typically have a pH of around 7 to 10, which is considered neutral to slightly alkaline. Stronger cleaners like bleach or drain cleaners can have higher pH levels, often above 12, making them very alkaline and caustic.

Things such as soap shampoo and laundry detergent are weakly alkaline. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and drain cleaners made with lye (sodium hydroxide) are strong bases.

Soap is generally alkaline in nature. It has a pH level higher than 7, which means it is basic. Alkaline properties in soap help it to effectively lift dirt and oil from surfaces.

Toothpaste contains a minimum amoun of ALKALI to kill the acids off your teeth! Other household items contain alkalisuch as Black coffee and various oven cleaners. Bleach, Bicabonate of Soda, Washing Soda/Powder and Drain Cleaners
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"!
