All purpose cleaners are pH neutral.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18394 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FILA-PH-SCALE.jpg\" alt=\"neutral all purpose cleaners\" width=\"2348\" height=\"1269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FILA-PH-SCALE.jpg 2348w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FILA-PH-SCALE-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FILA-PH-SCALE-1024x553.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FILA-PH-SCALE-768x415.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FILA-PH-SCALE-1536x830.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/FILA-PH-SCALE-2048x1107.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2348px) 100vw, 2348px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One key characteristic of all purpose cleaners is that they are pH neutral. You might be asking yourself what that means. It&#8217;s actually very simple. The pH scale is divided into 3 parts, 0-6 is acid, <strong>6-8 is neutral<\/strong> and 8-14 is alkaline.<\/p>\n<p>Acid cleaners and alkaline cleaners are often used for heavy duty cleaning and stain removal. &nbsp;Neutral cleaners, on the other hand, are used to maintain surfaces regularly.<strong> If floors, walls and countertops are cleaned often, then the need for heavy duty cleaning is reduced over time.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 1.125rem;\">2. All purpose cleaners are biodegradable.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The impact of cleaning products on the environment is of increasing concern, and FILA is especially careful about creating product formulas that are not only effective, but also mindful of the planet we all live in. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/usa\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/cleaners\/cleanall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CLEAN<\/strong>ALL, <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.filasolutions.com\/usa\/products\/full-range\/cleaning-products\/cleaners\/stoneclean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>STONE<\/strong>CLEAN<\/a>. and <strong>CLEAN<\/strong>ALL SPRAY are all high-performing and also <strong>99% biodegradable!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But <strong>FILA&#8217;s dedication to the environment<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t stop there. We have recently become one of over 100 signatories of <strong>The Climate Pledge,<\/strong> a pact by Amazon and Global Optimism that calls on companies to become net zero carbon by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about The Climate Pledge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theclimatepledge.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Multipurpose cleaners are safe for all surfaces<span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>All purpose cleaners are worry-free. Because they are pH neutral, they can be safely used on delicate surfaces without having to worry about harming them with aggressive substances.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about cleaning tile surfaces, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/us\/how-to-clean-tile-floors-which-tile-cleaner-to-use-and-when-to-use-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">read this blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18411\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Your-paragraph-text-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"all purpose cleaners for all surfaces\" width=\"525\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Your-paragraph-text-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Your-paragraph-text-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Your-paragraph-text-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Your-paragraph-text-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Your-paragraph-text-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Your-paragraph-text-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Your-paragraph-text-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Your-paragraph-text.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Multipurpose cleaners do not leave a residue.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>All purpose cleaners can be used everyday because they do not leave a residue on the surface. This fact is particularly important because cleaner residue builds up per time, causing streaks, absorbing stains and attracting germs and bacteria. Once the residue has layered, it can only be removed through heavy duty cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>And, since they don&#8217;t leave a residue&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18404\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2-e1627824375791-1024x542.png\" alt=\"no streaks all purpose cleaner\" width=\"525\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2-e1627824375791-1024x542.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2-e1627824375791-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2-e1627824375791-768x407.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.filasolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2-e1627824375791.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.
