PatricksMom Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Paranoid mom, but the owner of the cleaning company came to do the estimate, and ammonia was her top suggestion for getting the stove top cleaned the first time (let's just say during the three months I've been ill, DH hasn't exactly been doing it) and a couple of other greasy areas. I've never used it, it wasn't something my mom used, would this be safe to use around greyhounds--they wouldn't be in the room, and I'll be home, so if I think the situation is unsafe, I can leave with them.

kudzu Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Unless you have a hound with respiratory problems there's no problem with it at all. Continuous exposure to ammonia is harmful but not occasional, short-term exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF_in_Georgia Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 The reason pet owners often avoid cleaning with ammonia is that dried urine has an ammonia smell, so if owners clean carpet or flooring with ammonia, they've essentially posted a "Pee here" sign for their pets. Cleaning items out of reach of pets should avoid that problem. Quote Kathy and Q (CRT Qadeer from Fuzzy's Cannon and CRT Bonnie) and Jane (WW's Aunt Jane from Trent Lee and Aunt M); photos to come.

MaryJane Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Ask if they can use vinegar - that's what I use in my house because my Lucy is a seizure dog. Only problem - your house will smell like salad dressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatricksMom Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Thank you, this would be a one time use, in a room they won't be in, just to get the stove and range hood clean so it sounds like we're safe, just wanted to double check. Of course, Leo and Henry are my top priority, forget about my stuff. Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019).
