A very good glass cleaner
This glass cleaner is the closest I have been able to find to the "streak-free" shine of days of old. It is pretty good. I do agree with others that this is very pricey, but given the difficulty I have had finding respectable glass cleaners over the past 20 years and given the convenience of ordering from Amazon and given the convenient 1 gallon size, I am not going to penalize the product in my review for its high price. Competitors are free to step up if any so desire. Also, in the "good ole days," many of us were very resourceful. If we had a tomato plant or azalea bush that wasn't fairing so well, we could boost a little life into the plant by adding nitrogen to the soil with a touch of household glass cleaner, and "back in the good oles days," the glass cleaners rarely contained any chemicals that were harmful to a plant's health. For many years, I used a touch of glass cleaner in the soil of my azalea bushes in April. My azalea bushes would consistently produce the most vibrant beautiful blooms I could hope to achieve, and the leaves were a magnificent dark healthy green. Since the tragedy of 1995, the glass cleaner approach has not worked. Since then, I have tried the coffee-grounds trick as well as others such as the store-bought food specially formulated for azalea bushes and hydrangea. These products simply did not work for me. Last year, I finally found a slow- and fast-release nitrogen fertiziler at my local farmer's coop that did a respectable job, but it still paled in comparison to the glass cleaner from days of old. I do not believe the chllenge for my azalea bushes is acidity as is commonly a problem for azalea and hydrangea bushes though I do live in a lime rich area and an area where bermuda grass is popular (alkaline loving). I believe the chief challenge for my azalea bushes is nitrogen -- be it "bioavailability" of the nitrogen (fast or slow or ratio of fast vs slow) or the abundanace of organically-bound nitrogen. I have even found that aged manure and urine do not work as well as the glass cleaners of yesteryear, nor peat moss. While it is disappointing, it isn't the end of the world, and sadly, the world has gone mad, and sadly, if quality ammonia is put on the market, people will make bombs and meth, but my life experience has shown that there is hardly any fertilizer to compete with ammonia. And oh... I am aware that environmentalist claim it is hazardous to the environment. I find that a tad difficult to believe considering how well tomato plants and azalea bushes thrive on ammonia. I am not making an ignorant attack against anyone concerned about the well being of our environment, just questioning the validity of the ammonia concern. I do wish for all of us to care for our environment as responsibly as we can, but I don't just instantly assume all of the speculated hazards are as stated, at least not the ammonia concern. The concern for nefarious individuals making bombs and meth is clearly a concern sadly. :-( I am not a botanist or even a chemist so the declining health of my azalea bushes over the years may not be related to nitrogen. I just know I have tried replanting, I have tried nourishing with special formula. I have tried nourishing with aged manure and urine. I have tried planting them in a slight mound for improved drainage. I have tried coffee grounds. They just have not been near as beautiful since the ammonia-content of glass cleaners was drastically reduced in 1996 and the subsequent years. I simply haven't had extreemly beautiful azalea bushes in tehe 23 years since. However, since this is marketted as a cleaner, it is indeed EXCELLENT for streak-free shine -- very good. It does what it advertises. Thank you. I measured the dielectric permittivity over DC to 10 GHz. From this measurement, I ascertain the concentration is 0.21%. The manufacturer claims 0.5 to 2.5%. Regardless, it is a good glass cleaner, but not at all a good fertilizer. Since they are selling this as a glass cleaner, I still give it 5 stars. However, it does leave me concerned that their may be other ingredients not listed. The MSDS says Ammonium Hydroxide and water. It seems too good a glass cleaner to be merely 0.21% or even 0.5% ammonium hydroxide.

Perfect! Exactly what I need! No nasty perfumes or colors or detergents in this CLEAR AMMONIA! :)
Yes, this was exactly what I needed! The image shown above is incorrect. I received exactly what I was looking for- purely clear, NON-foaming, NON-Scented ammonia! This is very good. Works great and I received it in a very timely manner. It is costly but I know its not an easy item to ship... I am about to order more!

Why is Amonia, a great cleaner, so hard to find
My folks used amonia for many things from cleaning walls to adding it to laundry. To this day nothing is better than diluted amonia for cleaning windows. And, yet, it is nearly impossible to find here in California, a state, that has probably banned it like so many other things. I'll keep ordering here in order to keep my windows, walls, surfaces and clothes clean and smelling great such like my Mom and Grandma did.

Gettin' hard to come by
I use clear ammonia for gardening as it is a good product. It also has numerous other uses as well. While the lemon scent almost jumps in your cart at the Wal-Mart, the clear is a bit of a search. I was glad to find it, it arrived promptly, and in good repair. I will order again.

Finally, an ammonia without any added scent.
Let's face it: ammonia smells bad. Like, you are in hell bad. BUT because of that I hate it when they add lemony or lavender scent to it, because someow it makes it even worse. My nose feels bipolar, people. This ammonia is just pure, simple ammonia. No fluff. It does itsjob, and it's a big bottle so I hope it lasts a long time. Also, I can't tell you how excited I got after looking for this for months and it being out constantly due to covid.

Clear Ammonia
This is worth the money as it is really good for keeping the wild animals out of you garbage if you spray your can.

Great product
Bought this to get rid of a snake that moved into the camper. Put some in a spray bottle and spritzer around camper. After a few days of doing it the snake moved out. It did not leave a residue or smell after the initial spraying.

Ammonia Cleaning solution.
I have used ammonia as a cleaning solution many years. I recently remembered why when I hand cleaned my oven. First, I erred heavily choosing to bake a spaghetti squash on a raised edge baking sheet with no covering of the squash. I was unaware it would spatter shell fluids top, bottom, sides of the oven. Once I began the cleaning task, I discovered baked on, dark brown oil spots in almost a solid covering and they were not budging with elbow grease, oven spray, vinegar, soaking cloths. I succeeded in removing the shine on the oven racks and discoloring them permanently. The evening of my 3rd or 4th day at this task, I desperately delved for past solutions. I washed everything down with water, filled a bowel with ammonia, placed it in the bottom of the oven, closed the oven door and went to bed. The next day about mid-day I girdled myself for battle. I poured some of the ammonia in a container and with some light rubbing and a green scrubbing pad, the spots of baked on squash oil began to fall away. I had used a battery operated scrub brush prior, but this was like a new project and it was relatively easy! My oven has never been as clean. (No more baking foods uncovered unless they are cookies, bread and the like) Why I deviated from ammonia, I don't know. I truly hope I learned my lesson. (It's inexpensive, too!!) 07/23/21 (The reason for medium star review is it took a month to receive the product. No explanation. It just finally showed up.)
