I haven't found a definitive answer.  For one reason, there
are different formulations for different purposes.  But  all
of the sources I'm finding on the web declare it to be
highly alkaline.  The lowest number I've found is ">9",
and the highest (for Lysol Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner)
is 12.5.  I've seen a couple of web pages claiming 10.  I
don't have any pH papers or a meter to test with myself.
