Use Ammonia to Boost Detergent Cleaning Power

Ammonia may smell bad, but it's great to add to laundry. It freshens, removes bad odors like fishing ickies, barn odors. It boosts the cleaning power of your detergent so you don't need to use as much.
It brightens, removes some stains and grease spots. I've never been sure if ammonia would spot so I add a cup to a quart of so of water and add to washer. Never had any spotting and once dry the clothes smell nice and fresh.
