Neutral Cleaner
Definition
A neutral cleaner has a pH close to 7 (neither strongly acidic nor alkaline). These products are generally safe for a wide range of hard floor finishes, including many sealed wood, laminate, vinyl, and tile surfaces, when used as directed.
Why it matters
Strongly alkaline or acidic cleaners can damage certain finishes over time or leave residues. For routine floor care in Mississauga homes, a quality neutral cleaner used with proper technique is usually the safest default. Always check the manufacturer recommendations for your specific flooring.
