The doors of your fireplace
The dark layers from the inside of the glass of the door of your fireplace can be easily removed! All you need is the simple mixture of one table spoon of ammoniac, two table spoons of wine vinegar and one quarter of a gallon warm water. Pour the mixture in a spraying bottle and apply on the glass surface. Let it work for a few seconds and wipe off with an absorbing towel. Repeat, if necessary only this time leave the mixture on for a few minutes.

Clean up old silver
Using nothing more than an old toothbrush you can clean up dark zones on silver surface. Just put the brush in ammoniac and scrub really hard. After that wipe the silver object off and dry.

Clean up marks of foam in the bathroom
You know those nasty foam marks all over your bathroom walls? You can remove stains from grease and foam with a mixture of ammoniac and water. You can use in on your faucet and sink as well. Mix a table spoon of ammoniac with a gallon of water, hot if possible. Apply it on the dirty surfaces. Rinse good using warm water.
For the bathroom tiles use a sponge, dipped in a mixture of quarter of a cup of ammoniac and a gallon of water. This will remove the foam marks and will prevent the forming of mold.

Clean up blood stains, sweat marks, and urine from clothes
Apply ammoniac on the stained parts of the clothes. Let it work for a few minutes and wash it in the washer.
For non-greasy stains in the room you can use a mixture of ammoniac and dishwashing liquid. Pour the mixture in a spraying bottle and apply on the stained surface. Let it stay for a couple of minutes and rinse off with warm water.

Clean up carpets and furniture
For stains on your carpet or furniture apply a mixture of one cup of ammoniac and half a gallon of water. Apply with a sponge directly on the stained surface. Wait until completely dry and repeat if necessary.

Scrub the windows
For greasy stains and dirtiness on your windows use a mixture of three cups of water and a cup of ammoniac.

Keep your pets away from the dust bin
Last, but not least, you can use ammoniac to prevent your pets from going through your garbage. It is easy, especially for bigger animals, to take down small dust bins. Put a little bit of liquid ammoniac in a spraying bottle and apply on the outside of the bin. The smell will keep your pets away.
