ammonia

[Patt]

Anyone know if using ammonia, (water and ammonia mixture) to clean windows
is harmfull to the rubber linings of the window? Over time could it rot or
destroy the linings?

Hi Patt,

I doubt whether ammonia can rot rubber, that will be done by the sun over
time by drying it out and cracking it. What you mustn't use on rubbr is
anything with a solvent in it. Rubber is degraded fairly instantly by
solvent, which is why you can't dy clean t-shirts with rubber motifs on
them.

I'm sure that it does, but to a much lesser degree than UV rays, dirt,
or ethyl alcohol. Cleaning your windows 2 or 3 times a year (with a
water-ammonia mixture) is not excessive. One thing you should be
extra careful about is getting ammonia (including Windex) behind a
mirror which will destroy the silvery coating.

Not sure if it would be harmful to the rubber lining of your windows, but it
is harmful to you if you breath in its vapors. There is a safer
alternative that happens to cost less and works so much better than any
window cleaning product you've probably ever used before. It won't harm
anything, including your windows' rubber lining. In fact, check into the
entire line of environmentally responsible products that do a better job
less all of the dangerous and harsh chemicals. Please go to my site and if
you like what we stand for you all you have to do is request more
information and I'll make sure you get it. Everyone should know about these
life-changing and -enhancing products. In fact, once a person starts using
them they can never go back to the P&G or J&J, etc.. products again. You owe
it to yourself to give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed
in the least. Have a nice day!:)

You apparently couldn't be bothered to state the least bit of
information on what these products might be on your site, and
the request for more information asks for far more personal
information than an email address to send it to, including
"requiring" a phone number.

A good deal of "natural" and "alternative" cleaning products are
just as potentially poisonous to pets and children as the usual
storebought ones.

I use very hot water, a few drops of dish detergent, and a squeegee.

Sun, indeed, but more by ultraviolet (UV) and less by infrared. Today's
rubbers (elastometrics) are very heat resistent (silicone rubbers) and UV
stabilizers have improved things, but less so.
