Help with my Foaming De-Greaser Formula..
NOT A CHEMIST.. wondering if these would be safe to combine, Water, Sodium Hydroxide (Degreaser), Sodium Laurteh Sulfate (Foaming Agent), Polyvinyl
Alcohol (PVA) (Increase Viscosity and Foam Stability).. I watched a video where they mixed 4% PVA into a kid's bubble blowing mixture and the large
bubble lasted 4 minutes! But not sure if it react negatively/safely with the NaOH and SLES..

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is another option i've thought could replace the PVA

Should be fine
PVA is actually used is chemical resistant gloves, so I think it'd be pretty safe. Sodium Laureth Sulfate and sodium hydroxide are commonly combined
in all sorts of household products (like toothpaste). I don't see why it shouldn't be safe, but if you're worried about it just mix up a little bit
first and make sure nothing <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">interesting</span> bad happens. But I don't foresee any issues.
Let me know how it works out, after reading about PVA I'm kinda interested in getting some and playing around with it now
