I've been searching all day for ammonia. I found this at the grocery store. It says in the Ingredients: soft water, ammonium hydroxide, quality control agents. Is this the wrong stuff? I won't even open it until I hear from ya'll!
 
I'm not sure what "quality control agents" are but someone else the other day posted the same thing. Shake the bottle good. If you get foam (like soap suds), it's not the right type. If you get a few air bubble that burst immediately (just like when you shake bottled water), then it is fine. The other person said they shook theirs and just got the air bubbles so I would assume it is ok. Just shake it to be sure.
 
Like rdd says, don't use it if it foams. A good source of pure ammonia is the dollar stores (stores that sells everything under $1).

lol, that was me who mentioned that. Then I learned that all ammonia solutions have some quality control agents. But yea, like everyone said, shake it to be sure.
 
Thanks so much for the replies! I was shaking that bottle like crazy in the grocery store to see if it would foam but it doesn't so I guess it's ok.

I went to my Dollar store but only found the foaming kind....)c:
