Note: the pH of this preparation is 5-5.5.
Measure the ph using a ph meter or litmus papers, if the ph is not between 5 and 5.5, adjust it with:
• 30% caustic soda solution if the ph is less than 5
• lactic or citric acid if the ph is greater than 5.5
ATTENTION! Work with a graduated pipette and add a drop or two at a time!

It can be kept for 3-4 months!
