    Have any of you purchased ammonia in Dumaguete. I have looked at a few places for it and cannot find it. I am aware it can be a dangerous chemical, not need a little for cleaning. Thanks.

    Pat,
    Try a pharmacy. Not sure but they may have it we think.
    As you probably know, never ever mix it with bleach, the fumes can kill quickly.

    Hmm, wonder what would happen if you mix it with Tanduay?

    It mellows out the Tanduay and makes it smoother. It also makes an excellent defoliant.

    We cleaned the carpets before I received the ammonia from Firefly so this time we used the recipe you sent minus the ammonia - warm water, dishwashing soap, and vinegar. We cleaned the driveway and then used sponges and the cleaner on the two carpets while on the concrete. One is a 8 foot round carpet and the other a 6X5. After cleaning they dried in the sun for four hours. Worked fine. Next cleaning we will add the ammonia to the formula.

    Glad it worked out. If you post the before and after pics we'll set you up in town as "Pat's Rug Cleaning." :D
