   Re: Shampoo+Soap=Ammonia?

   Shampoo and soap do not react to form ammonia. Ammonia is a chemical compound   
   with the formula NH3. It is a colorless gas with a strong, pungent odor.   
   Ammonia is produced naturally from the decomposition of organic matter, and it   
   is also produced    
   industrially for a variety of uses, including fertilizers, cleaning products,   
   and explosives.   
      
   Shampoo and soap are both cleaning products, but they work in different ways.   
   Shampoo contains detergents, which remove dirt and oil from the hair by   
   surrounding and lifting them away. Soap contains fatty acids, which react with   
   dirt and oil to form    
   water-soluble salts that can be rinsed away.   
      
   While shampoo and soap do not react to form ammonia, they can interact with   
   other chemicals to produce it. For example, if you mix bleach and ammonia, it   
   can create a toxic gas called chloramine. It is important to never mix   
   different cleaning products    
   together, as it can be dangerous.   
      
   If you are concerned about ammonia exposure, it is important to read the   
   labels of cleaning products carefully and to follow the instructions. You   
   should also avoid using cleaning products in poorly ventilated areas. Via
