Homemade General Cleaner

I don't know where I got this recipe but it works great on almost anything.

2 tablespoons ammonia
2 tablespoons liquid laundry detergent (Not one with bleach!)

Put this in a spray bottle and add 2 cups of hot water from the tap, mix gently and use. I use it on almost everything.

I thought it was only the bleach and ammonia that you aren't supposed to mix. I mean, I have seen and used dish-soap with a drop or two of bleach in my dishwater a lot. In fact you can even buy dish-soap with bleach now can't you?

2 things one is Not supposed to mix dish soap with are Bleach & or Ammonia,due to the fact that they give off POISONOUS FUMES . Perhaps try reading warning labels.

Not trying to be snooty,trying to save pain,there is way to much of that in the world already.
