Ammonium alcohol in everyday life: 9 ways of use

The first thing associated with ammonia is its ability to remove a person from a presumptive state, and some of us have encountered this bubble in proceduralduring the delivery of blood. But not many people know that in everyday life ammonia alcohol is useful not less than in medicine. There are many ways of using a 10% ammonia solution for economic purposes, and we have selected the most effective of them.

Removing stains

To remove contaminants ammonia solution for domestic use is probably used most often. And, of course, mainly where the usual detergents are used either inconveniently or inefficiently.

• The ammonia can be used to clean carpets or upholstery, and it will work better than the purchased household chemicals, besides, you do not have to wash the foam from the fabric.
• Also, such a solution can clean suede shoes, bags and gloves, because you can not wash out, and the usual stain remover will require contact with water. In this case, the ammonia solution is applied to the suede with a cotton pad: the dirt will be absorbed by alcohol, and the discs will need to be changed until they become clean.
• And also ammonia is indispensable for removing fat stains from any tissues, including ordinary clothes. Treat the stain with a solution, and then start the usual washing in the machine: there will be no trace of grease stains on the cuffs and collars.

What concentration to prepare a solution for these manipulations? The more ammonia you add to 100 ml of water, the stronger and faster its properties will appear, but the aggressive effect on the structure of the tissue will increase. The most common cleaning solution, which we recommend to use, is 1 part of ammonia and 5 parts of water, although it is possible to increase or decrease the saturation of the mixture if necessary.

Bleaching

In addition to removing stains, ammonia is used in everyday life to return things to a pristine white-white color, and with this task, he also cope with cheers. However, it alone does not work as well as with an assistant in the form of hydrogen peroxide, so be stocked by both means. Children's pantyhose, your work blouse and even tulle, yellowed from the sun, we will soak in the same solution: in 4-5 liters of hot water( about 70 ˚С) add 50 ml of peroxide and 25 ml of ammonia, soak things in ita few hours, and then rinse thoroughly. It is worth noting that this procedure does not replace laundry and should be carried out on things already cleaned from strong contaminants.

Council

White things that were accidentally hit by a bright sock in a washing machine can also be saved with such soaking, unless, of course, the colored fabric sheds not too much.

Surface cleaning

The ammonia solution removes strong dirt from tiles, sinks or ovens no worse than from fabrics, so that the same solution can wash the entire apartment.

• Nutary is excellent for cleaning glass, mirrors and other glass products, such as chandeliers and even glasses. It is good that even in solution it leaves no streaks and gives shine.
• A solution of ammonia applied to a cotton pad can clean even the soleplate of the iron so that it does not leave ugly stains on clothes.
• Tile tile solution of ammonia will wipe off the grease spots, if it's a kitchen apron, traces of hard water, if it's a bathroom, and dirt if it's floor.
• Myths well cope with greasy stains, so its solution can wash the stove and oven, of course, without including gas: it's still alcohol.

Disinfection

For the same tile treatment with ammonia is not just cleaning, but also preventing fungus and mold, because of which the grouting between the tiles looks simply awful. Of course, it is better to use ordinary alcohol for disinfection of hands, but it is quite possible to treat objects with ammonia. For example, in a solution of ammonia soak comb-hair brushes, which are difficult to clean thoroughly and disinfect in another way.

Cleaning of metals

Soaking in the solution of ammonia products made of silver, gold and other metals is another useful advice that even the owners of jewelry shops will confirm. Equally well, it works for both the old grandmother's gold suspension, and for oxidized silver spoons.

Repellent

The use of ammonia in domestic life is not limited to the area of ​​cleaning: it can also serve in the fight against insects who decided to settle in your apartment. Brown ants, which are often simply unrealistic to derive in traditional ways, will forget the way to your kitchen if you smell the smell of ammonia. Also it can be taken with you to sorties: it works no worse than factory repellents, and costs much less.

Means for beauty
Nematyr has interesting properties for dry and problem foot skin. If you add literally a couple of drops of this product in the bath, the skin softens, the cracks heal faster, the unpleasant odor recedes, and the skin becomes more clammy.

Important!

Ammonium alcohol is used in small amounts inwards to induce vomiting in poisoning, but it is better not to use it outside medical institutions for such purposes: a small overdose - and you will get a burn of mucous membranes and serious poisoning.

Odor removal

Another useful advice on the use of liquid ammonia in everyday life is the elimination of stale odors in the room. If you arrange small containers with ammonia around the room, after a while the smell will go away, and although the apartment will have to be ventilated long and carefully from the ammonia, soon there will be no smells in it, except for the smell of cleanliness.
