How High-pH Cleaners Can Safely Tackle Tough Messes in Multiple Industries
When choosing a cleaning product for your facility, one critical factor often gets overlooked: its pH level. Cleaners with a high pH (above 10) are known for their powerful ability to break down grease, grime, and heavy soils. Industries like transportation, manufacturing, and public transit rely on these types of cleaners to tackle their toughest messes. However, high-pH cleaners also come with a well-known downside—they can cause surface damage, such as corrosion, discoloration, or material breakdown, especially after repeated use.
This is where JMG All Purpose Cleaner stands out. With a pH of 12, it delivers the deep-cleaning power you need, yet it’s specially formulated to prevent the typical damage seen with other high-pH products. Whether you’re in the transportation industry, managing a transit system, or overseeing manufacturing facilities, this cleaner provides strength without the risks. In this blog, we’ll explore why pH balance matters, the risks of high-pH cleaners, and how JMG All Purpose Cleaner offers the best of both worlds—tough cleaning power with surface protection.
Why pH Matters in Cleaning Products
The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is, ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline). A neutral pH sits at 7, while anything above 10 is considered highly alkaline. High-pH cleaners are especially effective at breaking down grease, oils, and heavy soil, making them indispensable in industries where regular cleaners often fall short.
However, there’s a tradeoff—high-pH products are notorious for causing corrosion, surface discoloration, and material degradation. Surfaces like metal, wood, plastics, and coated materials can suffer long-term damage if exposed to overly alkaline cleaners for prolonged periods.
This is where JMG All Purpose Cleaner shines. Despite having a pH of 12—high enough to cut through tough grime—it’s formulated to avoid the typical damage associated with high-alkaline products, ensuring surface safety even with frequent use.
Why High pH is Critical for Tough Messes
In environments like transportation, public transit vehicles, or manufacturing facilities, the kind of grease, oil, and dirt buildup that accumulates on surfaces can’t be tackled with neutral or low-pH cleaners. You need something stronger. High-pH cleaners excel at breaking down tough grime that’s resistant to more gentle products, making them essential for certain industries.
Transportation: In the transportation industry, including automobiles, planes, boats, and freight trucks, removing engine grease, oil stains, brake dust, and other heavy soils requires a product that’s strong enough to dissolve these contaminants without leaving behind residues or streaks.
Transit Systems: Public transportation, including buses, trains, and stations, sees heavy foot traffic and frequent exposure to dirt, grease, and pollutants. High-pH cleaners are often the go-to solution for maintaining cleanliness in these high-traffic environments.
Manufacturing: On factory floors, machinery gets covered in industrial grease and oils that need to be cleaned regularly to ensure the smooth operation of equipment. High-pH cleaners are critical for cutting through these tough soils quickly and effectively.
JMG All Purpose Cleaner offers the pH strength of 12, delivering deep cleaning power while being gentle enough for regular use, making it ideal for heavy-duty environments like these.
The Risks of High-pH Cleaners (And How JMG Avoids Them)
While high-pH cleaners are known for their strength, they also come with risks that can lead to expensive surface damage over time. Let’s break down some common issues:
Corrosion: High-pH cleaners can corrode metals like aluminum, stainless steel, and chrome. In industries like transportation and transit, where these materials are common, corrosion can lead to costly repairs or replacements.
Surface Damage: Highly alkaline cleaners can strip finishes off of wood, damage plastic components, and leave marks on painted surfaces or coated equipment. This can result in discoloration, dulling, or wear, which shortens the lifespan of valuable assets.
However, JMG All Purpose Cleaner is designed to mitigate these risks. Its advanced formula ensures that it cuts through tough messes without causing corrosion, surface wear, or discoloration. This makes it safe for use on a wide variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, coated materials, and upholstery. You get all the cleaning power you need, without the costly side effects of traditional high-pH products.
How JMG All Purpose Cleaner Combines Power and Safety
What sets JMG All Purpose Cleaner apart from other high-pH cleaners is its ability to provide powerful cleaning action while protecting delicate surfaces. Its formulation allows it to break down tough grime—whether it’s oil on a manufacturing plant floor or brake dust in a transportation fleet—without the surface degradation that many high-alkaline products can cause.
Metal Surfaces: Often at risk of corrosion from high-pH cleaners, metal surfaces in industries like transportationand transit stay protected with JMG All Purpose Cleaner.
Plastic Components: In manufacturing, transportation, and public transportation, plastics are widely used. High-pH cleaners can often discolor or weaken plastics, but JMG’s formula is designed to clean effectively without these issues.
Coated and Painted Equipment: From factory floors to transportation depots, coated equipment needs frequent cleaning but is often at risk of damage from harsh cleaners. JMG All Purpose Cleaner provides the necessary cleaning power while protecting finishes.
