How to make ammonia?

I need some ammonia solution so I can clean my stove top with it, it don't have to be highly consented since I don't want to kill myself with it and bleach. Any help?

Maybe in the USA, but at least in my country they prefer selling "products" instead of plain industrial chemicals and the terrorist hysteria made the situation even worse. If I want ammonia, I'll have to buy it from a chemical supplier.

On the other hand, I have plenty of shit to choose from if I just want something for cleaning a stove top. Including stuff containing ammonia.

>>1280431
No. Rotten piss will contain some ammonia, though.

you mean you can't even buy watered down sudsy ammonia at the supermarket? truth is, there's little need for the general public to have pure ammonia, and surely not to clean with. we have a dairy in a nearby city that may still use it as a refrigerant, but every time it springs a leak, they have to shut the area off to the public because it can kill you.

plus, people like to use it to make meth, at least before the new one-bottle method

oh, and one more thing. lye cuts grease extremely well, assuming what you want to clean can handle it.

Yes and no. There are some cleaning products containing ammonia and some even advertise it on the front label, but they aren't very common. If the manufacturer wants something ammonia-like, they usually use various amines instead.

I'm not too sure where normal people could buy anhydrous ammonia here.

>>1280523
Sodium and potassium hydroxides are quite common in oven cleaning products.

I'd use a non-toxic cleaner instead

this is what I usually use :-)

nigga you can spend a week pissing into a bale of hay to do ghetto chem, or you can buy a jug of ammonia for literally a dollar at your local Dollarama(tm)

anyway
>stove top
i use normal Sunlight(tm) soap for this, or maybe that Vim cleaner stuff if it's really bad. but very hot water and dish soap will usually suffice for baked on food

if its really not coming off, give it a good scrub and leave it wet and soapy for like an hour and come back. the gunk will have softened

be sure to use the hottest water your poor little hands can handle.

>>1280609
this, piss smells like it does because of the ammonia content, actually

its why cat piss is even worse. higher ammonia content. it even stains/corrodes things because of all the ammonia
