Goo Gone Is PH Neutral
Posted: July 31st, 2008 | Author: saldarji | Filed under: stuff | 2 Comments »Our discussion at work was around Goo Gone. If you haven’t tried using it to remove stickers and other “gooey” messes, you haven’t lived. Technically, Goo Gone is a “Citrus and Petroleum Solvent-based Stain Remover.”
The porting team was discussing whether or not it was actually acidic. Because it is based on oranges and lemons, we thought that it was acidic. However, after reviewing the Materials Safety Data Sheet [pdf], we were able to ascertain that Goo Gone is PH Neutral. In other words, it is not acidic.
I LOVE Goo Gone.
For pH, it says “None”. Does that mean 7.0?
“…Goo Gone is PH Neutral. In other words, it is not acidic.”
More precisely, it is neither acidic nor alkaline.
