DID YOU KNOW? that ammonia is one of the oldest cleaning compounds currently in use. It actually dates back to ancient Egypt. In fact, the word ammonia is derived from the Egyptian deity Ammon, whose temple in what is now Libya is credited with producing the earliest form of ammonia, sal ammoniac, by burning camel dung. Ewww!

Ammonia is good for cleaning several different things but I swear by it for glass. That is the only thing that removes streaks, grease and dirt and doesn't leave the window or mirrow all streaky. Windex sucks next to it, so I always clean my car windows with ammonia because it doesn't create the streaks you can see later. It is also awesome at cleaning diamond jewelry.

Ammonia is good for amything! It is the best cleaning agent there is! Don't mix with aything and make sure you have plenty of ventilation when cleaning with it. It removes grease and so much more.

All kinds of ideas are usually printed on the ammonia bottle. I use it as addative to my laundry detergent and for getting smells out of microwaves and ovens.

What Is Ammonia Good For

Stripping wax off floors, getting odors but not pet urine. Cleaning windows or glass. After new construction it works really good because it gets rid of the film from drywall. It removes grease so appliances, salt and pepper shakers. etc.
