Ammonia Solution
محلول النشادر (الأمونيا)
Alkali / ammonia
The verdict
Effective but irritating fumes — never mix with bleach. Ventilate well.
What it is
A pungent alkaline cleaner used for glass and grease.
A strong glass/grease cleaner, but the fumes alone can irritate airways and eyes — and mixing it with bleach makes toxic chloramine gas. Effective when used alone with good ventilation; never combine with chlorine cleaners.
