How would I remove the water from household ammonia?
The purpose of concentrating household ammonia is to increase its potency and effectiveness as a cleaning agent. Regular household ammonia usually contains around 5-10% ammonia, while concentrated ammonia can contain up to 30%. This makes it more powerful and efficient for cleaning tough stains and grime.
Household ammonia is usually concentrated through a process called distillation. This involves heating the ammonia solution to a high temperature, causing the water to evaporate and leaving behind a more concentrated ammonia solution.
Concentrated household ammonia can be dangerous if not handled properly. It is important to wear protective gloves and goggles when using it and to avoid mixing it with other cleaning products, as this can produce toxic fumes. It is also important to use it in a well-ventilated area and to read and follow all safety instructions on the packaging.
No, concentrated household ammonia should not be used on certain surfaces such as marble, granite, or aluminum as it can cause damage. It is best to test a small area first before using it on a larger surface. It is also not recommended for use on colored fabrics or delicate materials.
Concentrated household ammonia should be stored in a cool, dry place and kept out of reach of children and pets. It should also be kept away from heat sources and other chemicals. Make sure to always store it in its original, properly labeled container.
