My error. However, saponification is commonly used to refer to the reaction
of a metallic alkali (base) such as sodium or potassium hydroxide with a fat
or oil to form soap. Household bleach acts by oxidizing. Hydrolysis of fats
and oils does is generally considered saponification, not oxidation.

The PH of vinegar (acidic) is 2.8, distilled water (neutral) is 7.0 and
bleach is 12.6. If that ain't alkaline I'd be lyeing. Household lye is 13.6
and battery (sulfuric) acid is 0.3. The scale goes from 14 (alkaline) to 0
(acidic).
