No ammonia? What the heck! Don't people houseclean anymore? Or is it,

basic stuff, like ammonia, is economical?  Oh, can't have that, can we!  So, bought a gallon of some sort of green all-purpose cleaner for about $10, when the same amount of what i really wanted - clear ammonia - would have cost around $8.  Maybe, the hardware store has some, but that means extra running.  

Just used some of it.  It's horrible.  Doesn't clean even a forth as good, as good old fashioned no-nonsense ammonia.  With ammonia, you don't have to rinse - just keep the windows open, curtains parted.

Perhaps, the powers that be ... (their floors cleaned from the barely-paid labor of women from mexico, and other countries) have determined that american consumers are simply too stupid to handle basic chemicals.  

There wasn't any at the dollar-store in town either.  Just some sort of watered-down whatever - which isn't really good on old wood floors.  Ammonia on a sponge mop, gets the job done fast - oh my, can't have that, can we :/
