Actually, this is a question. My tile floor in the kitchen is only a year old. This is the main floor where people enter the home from outside. The grout is suppose to be a light color. It is now a dark dirty color. How do I clean the grout to make it beige again? I've used ammonia and clorox.

To remove paint from clothing no matter how long its been there use equal part ammonia and turpentine. Saturate the spot(s) for several minutes and then wash with warm soapy water.

My homemade cleaner recipe. Tanke 16 oz. of alcohol add enough water to almost make a gallon of cleaner, then add 1 tbsp. dish liquid, 2 tbsp. white vinegar, and 1 tbsp. ammonia. The cleaner has no smell and shows no mercy to dirt and leaves things sparkling.

Be careful to NEVER use ammonia based cleaners for floors or other cleaning (such as a trash container, or even windows) if you have pets. I was scrubbing my floors and patio doors with ammonia and hot water. Cleaned great but the dog mistook the ammonia smell for urine and now "marks its territory" where the ammonia cleaner was used. BAD! Ammonia smell will last long after another cleaner is used over it-- a dog can still smell it when we can't. Antibacterial is best.

Never, ever, use bleach and ammonia together. They'll react and give off chlorine gas, which is highly toxic and can be lethal.

If you need to clean your oven then try leaving a pan of ammonia in it overnight. It will soften the burnt on stains and make it easy to wipe away with a regular cleaner the next day.

Do NOT use ammonia for removing pet stains. It smells like urine to cats and dogs, so they will be tempted to return and relieve themselves in the same area. Use an enzyme based pet stain cleaner as directed- it gets the stain and smell out. If there is a present lingering dog/cat smell - get your carpets steam cleaned and get your pet potty trained! Don't coop them up in one space too long, or there will be accidents.

I love my dogs but having just got a new puppy I forgot how horrible it is to clean up pet poo! I use a mixture of ammonia (about a cup of warm water and two spoons of ammonia) and then blot the stain out with tissue. You can use baking soda as well if there's any lingering smell
