UGHHH...

Right now I think that I may have just about ruined my brain.

In an attempt to lower our cleaning costs I bought a big jug of ammonia. Now, I know not to mix it with bleach but that is about the end of my knowledge with ammonia.

So I experimented and poured "some" in each side of the sink to let it set with the thought that I would come back and scrub the sink. Except when I returned to the caustic land mine sink to scrub, I almost passed out from the cloud of fumes. It felt like it was burning my nose and that a few of my brain cells were a little worse for the wear!

So in an effort to maintain what little "Mommy Brain" that I have left. I'm going to leave the experimenting to Hazmat. How do you clean with ammonia? If I don't hear from anyone I'm going to assume that cleaning with straight ammonia isn't something that should be done. OK I'm off to nurse my brain cells!

This is a strange question but were you cleaning the kitchen or the bathroom sink?

YIKES! Be careful! I would google it. You're sure to find some helpful suggestions there.

The other day I mixed vinegar and bleach... not a great idea. I smelled a VERY strong smell and then decided to google it. I won't be doing THAT again!

WOW! Smockity I just googled vinegar and bleach. EEeeKKKK! I may just stick with vinegar and baking soda, the bubbles amuse me!

Hey there! Ammonia is the only thing I use to mop floors! About 1/2 to 1 cup of ammonia in a half sink of water. It dries fast and doesn't streak.

p.s. you must always dilute the ammonia! :-)
