Answer by  Tracy74 (229)

Read the directions on the bottle and mix with water per directions, use gloves, and never ever mix ammonia with bleach this can kill a person it makes a very toxic gas. Ammonia is good for disinfecting they shower, sinks, toilet seat, fixtures, and the toilet bowl. It has a fowl odor you may want to wear a mask.

Never mix ammonia (or cleaners containing ammonia) with chlorine bleach (or cleaners that contain chlorine). The ammonia and chlorine in the cleaners will combine to form a toxic gas. People have died from breathing this gas. Also make sure that the bathroom has adequate ventilation because ammonia fumes are irritating to the eyes and throat.

The most important thing to remember is never combine ammonia products with those containing chlorine, like Comet, bleach, and most mildew cleaners. You can use both products on the same surface, but NOT at the same time, since poisonous chlorine gas will be released by a chemical reaction. There are other toxic chemicals that could also be released.
