Sonitron Ammonia Solution is an ammonia solution used as a stain remover additive in carpet and upholstery spotting. Sonitron's safety data sheet names it Ammonia Solution and declares ammonia at 1–10%.
What It Is For
- An alkaline spotting agent in a professional spotting kit
- Neutralising acid spotters after use
- Boosting the alkalinity of a spotting solution on stains that respond to it
Ammonia is volatile: it does its work and then evaporates, so it leaves less alkaline residue in the fibre than a non-volatile alkali.
Directions for Use
Sonitron does not publish a product page, dilution rates or a method for Special Ammonia on its website. Follow the directions on the container label, and ask us for them if you need them before you order.
- Pre-test for colourfastness. Alkalis can cause dyes to bleed.
- Take particular care on wool and silk, which are damaged by alkaline products.
- Never mix ammonia with chlorine bleach or products containing it. The mixture releases toxic chloramine gas.
- Work with good ventilation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use it on wool?
With care. Wool is damaged by alkaline products and its dyes can bleed. Pre-test, use it sparingly, and neutralise and rinse afterwards.
Can I mix it with a bleach-based spotter?
Never with chlorine bleach. Sonitron's own label is the guide for which Sonitron products it may be used with.
Is it the same as household cloudy ammonia?
Sonitron does not publish a comparison. The safety data sheet declares ammonia at 1–10% and a clear liquid.
