Articles on cleaning with vinegar say just white distilled vinegar. I've only seen 5% acidity at the store. Are there any other acidity levels?

i'll be cleaning my walls and found this solution online:

1/2 cup vinegar
1 cup clear ammonia
1/4 cup baking soda
1 gallon warm water.

now, i bought a litre bottle of ammonia today but didnt know what kind was used in the solution.. and i got cloudy. can i still use it in this solution.. whats the difference between the 2 type. i vaguely remember the cluody one had soap in it which made it cloudy but i may well be making it up :)
any ideas??
cheers

I have an dryer and washer, the clothes come out smelling like pure gas and have been eating holes in my clothes ... I have been told I am on a coal bed methane...is there any way to remedy this? Is this harmful? Water tests were done when we bought the place a few years ago and were fine. You can take a lighter to our faucet and the water will ignite to fire. Any suggestions? This is on a private well...

Whenever I use the dishwasher, there is an awful oder coming from the disposal. I've tried lemons and oranges in the disposal but I think it's the dishwasher. Anyone have a solution. I heard about using lemon kool-aid in a empty cycle, but I just dont know since I havent heard from someone that has tried it.

I use tide with bleach alternative already in the bottle. I use downy with a flowerly like smell, then i wash them on the regular cycle in my washer. As soon as it is done washing, i dry them 2 times on the damp dry setting for a total of 50 minutes. I've tried changing fabric softeners, nothing helps. The clothes don't smell bad, they just smell like fabric softener, but not a good smell.

You can only smell it right next to the shirt, not from far away.

I have a comforter that is DRY CLEAN ONLY. My dog urinated on it and I am afraid that dry cleaning it will truly not get the stain/smell out. Can I take it to the laundry mat and just wash it on gentle in cold water?

machine? The blanket is not a comforter, nor a bedspread, just a king size cozy blanket I use underneath my bedspread. Can this type of blanket be washed in a standard capacity washer and dryer without destroying the machines?

I ironed a poodle on my black skirt for a 50's day at school and some of the glue remains--it is white. I have tried soaking and scrubbing and I still have some on my skirt.

The little compartment where you put the powder has a couple of prongs in it, so I couldn't put a dishwasher tablet in there. Is it ok to just drop it in the dishwasher? I've had the dish-draws for ages but have never been game to try.. silly hey !
