PH

The measure of hydroxyl (OH-) or hydrogen (H+) ions in a solution. Acids contain varying levels of hydrogen ions, bases contain hydroxyl ions. A pH of 7 is neutral, but for cleaning purposes, a pH of 5-9 is considered to be in the "neutral" range. Below 5 is acidic and greater than 9 is alkaline.
