Ammonia is a mild base [alkaline], hypochlorite bleach [e.g., Chlorox] is
a strong base, sodium hydroxide [lye] with a strong oxidizing agent,
the hypochlorite.
Just be sure NEVER to mix ammonia with sodium hypochlorite! A very
toxic gas is formed--which has killed people who made the mix in
ignorance! So don't try a mixed 'bleach'...
