Saponification: What Is It?
Pine-Sol® Brand Cleaner easily cleans the toughest dirt and grime while
competitors leave the dirt behind.
Saponification literally means “soap
making.” It is the name given to the
chemical reaction that occurs when a
vegetable oil or animal fat is mixed with
a strong alkali. If an alkaline cleaner is
used on greasy kitchen floors, the
surface can become very slippery.
In commercial kitchens, consider using
an acid cleaner instead, like Pine-Sol®
Brand Cleaner.
