Need to get some Ammonia to clean the cooker in villa we recently purchased, I have looked in most of the supermarkets east of Kyrenia. Thanks

Just a thought. Have you tried any of the Pharmacies? they may have it.

Never thought of that, will have a look.

Or the Yapi markets perhaps.

I've tried most Yapi markets and pool chemical suppliers west of Girne with no luck.

Let me know if you manage to source some.

Not seen it here at all but know it has been available in South. Need some myself, am going Saturday morning. If I find it can get you some. Sorry don't know price. Let me know if you are interested. Ann 0533 876 0715

I've bought it at a pharmacy, it wasn't on show, so you have to ask for it. For goodness sake, don't take a whiff of the stuff, it's lethal!

Yeah, Toastlady a whiff of it can clear your sinuses very quickly, my mum used to put a few drops of it into her smelling salts bottle to freshen it up !! The original poster mentioned cleaning a cooker, The trick I learnt was to take all the oven shelves and the grids from top plus any other oil/fat burnt pans or trays, put them in a strong plastic sack inside a dustbin with a cup of ammonia, tie the sack up tight put a lid on and leave overnight. Next day , avoiding breathing the fumes, take items out and wash them in hot soapy water with soda crystals. Burnt on stuff should come off easily. The longer you can leave it the better the result. I also tend to use a few drops in the water when I'm cleaning windows that are a bit greasy.
