Hey, I was wondering...how could we fabricate ammonia bombs on a timer for the house and car?
Also, how could we create an ammonia gel that could fit into a caulk gun to erradicate these pesky fibers from cracks and crevices?

Below my hanging clothes in my walk in closet I place a small plastic trash can and add a few cups of strong ammonia to it, I'm hoping that the fumes do some good. Although I have to replace the ammonia after a few days since It starts to fade within a few days. Not sure if it's helping, but I'm doing it anyway.
You could probably do the same for a vehicle, but not sure how safe it is to drive and inhale the fumes. Maybe do it overnight while your asleep?

I never used ammonia for anything until recently. For laundry, I always used bleach in the past but have noticed much better results with the ammonia. It's a keeper and I never really thought to use it in other ways. Thanks for posting this you guys.
Just wanted to say that Fabrese has a product out that claims to, “reduce 75% of airborne allergens from fabrics.” Yes, I believe someone made a mainstream product to help rid us of our floaters. I’m having wonderful results with it especially in my car. The numbers went from too many to count to maybe five at the most when I first get in and stir it up.

Kewl, thanks for the tip Hope - what is this Fabrese and where can we get it?
Is anyone making their own ammonium based disinfecting sprays? What are you using as a mix ratio?
DermaTechRx has a product that's a skin cleanser that you apply and wash off after 10 minutes. I know it contains ammonia, I can smell it. And it helps but it's expensive. Maybe I'll formulate one for us.
Cheers,
Chemist G

Febreze, if it's the one I'm thinking it is, comes in a spray bottle in the laundry products section of the supermarket or WalMart or wherever you buy your laundry stuff. I'm definitely going to try this, especially for my car. Thanks for the tip, Hope!

You have to get the one that's for allergies. It will say ALLERGEN REDUCER. The bottle says, "Regular use of Fabreze Allergen Reducer will reduce up to 75% of airborne allergens from cats, dogs, and dust mites that can become airborne from fabrics." Chemist, If you could come up with some kind of potion we would all be indebted. Thanks for offering. Peace, Hope

I have been putting amonia in the laundry and vinegar in the rinse of my husband's laundry and it seems to help. He spends alot of time around horses, cleaning their stalls and feeding them. He is always covered with hairs and hay. I also add a little amonia or vinegar to my dishwater. It helps cut grease and get rid of contaminants under nails.
