Do not mix vinegar an ammonia.... they react chemically and make a very
nasty gas.


No, that is ammonia and bleach. When mixed together, they make chloramines,
a toxic gas.

Ammonia is a base (alkaline), vinegar is an acid. There are hundreds of
recipes for cleaning solutions that contain both.


I've not tried this yet, but will soon as it is highly recommended
Window Cleaner
*******************
1/2 cup ammonia
1/2 cup vinegar
2 tbsp corn starch
1 gallon of water
This is the neatest window cleaner I have ever found. I do use the oven
cleaner to clean the window on my glass doored wood stove, but I spray it on
a cloth and then wipe the window (when the window is cold).
