Cleaning the Oven
Materials and Ingredients:
Ammonia
Baking soda
White vinegar
Glass pans (different sizes)
Boiling Water
Sponge
Steel wool
Preheat oven at 200-degrees for 15 minutes.
Fill a shallow glass pan with approximately 1" of ammonia. Be sure to use a glass pan only.
Place the glass pan on the top shelf of the oven.
Take another glass pan -- a longer one this time -- and place it on the bottom shelf, then pour in 1" of boiling water (figure A).
Close the oven door and leave for at least two hours and overnight if the oven is heavily soiled.
The next morning, make a paste with baking soda and white vinegar (see instructions, below) to wipe out the oven.

It is a good cleaner for floors and all sorts but...
the smell kills me...
So I use white vinegar for all the same things, floors, windows, mirrors, vinyl blinds, metal blinds, with a bit of baking soda as an oven cleaner (saw that on Martha Stewart)

Whatever you use it for, just remember one thing: NEVER MIX WITH BLEACH OR CLEANERS CONTAINING BLEACH!!! Ok, I use it for jewelry cleaning - I just pour about 1/8th a cup of ammonia into a bowl of hot water and toss in my rings, diamond jewelry, gold necklaces, and so forth. After about 20 minutes, i lightly brush each item with a toothbrush and rinse with cold water and TADA - like new!!!

We live in the country and I use amonia on our trash. I put it out at night for pick-up early in the morning. The amonia keeps the raccoons and other critters from ripping it apart.

All kinds of things. Put it on anything that needs to be disinfected. I use it in my laundry that I can't use bleach on. (never mix it with bleach = poison)
