clean fixtures

PRODUCT: Ammonia, to be used on resilient, ceramic, concrete surfaces. Do not use to clean clear plastic windows or surfaces and on aluminum; clouding and pitting can occur. Do not use on brass fixtures; pitting can occur.

HOW TO USE: You can control the cleaning strength by increasing the ammonia from 1/2 cup to 1 cup per gallon of water as the job difficulty increases.

  • For spray bottle use: Mix 1 part ammonia to 16 parts water.
  • For windows and mirrors: Use 2 tablespoons ammonia per 1 quart water.

I mix 3/4 water in a spray bottle and 1/4 of green alchol to clean my bathrooms and kitchen and then just wipe away the grime and dirt. It works and you don't have to breath in all of those harsh cleaners.
