Mix the Ammonia with the HOT soapy water and place in the area you want cleaned. Start smaller and work toward the larger areas. Let the strong ammonia and soap fumigate the area for as long as you can get away with. If needed, replace the mixture when needed. I've had real good luck with this in ridding items of odors. For example... I bought an old antique chair that smelled of mildew and just disgusting. I placed it in a closet and placed the mixture on the floor underneath the taller chair...then close the door. In a day, it had no odor remaining. Good luck. What I’ve done is mix Ammonia with HOT soapy water in a container appropriately sized for the area needed to deodorize.

So in a pan it sat for 5 days, before I opened the oven door to cook that nights dinner (Didn't smell a thing because we have an excellent oven that is air tight). Needless to say, we ate out that night. So that night I made a box of ginger bread. I didn't add the eggs, but added the oil and extra cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and vanilla. Cooked at very low temp for 4 or 5 hours. No trace of the salmon was left. DO NOT EAT THE GINGER BREAD! Throw it out. My husband was going to bake a salmon in our oven, but first it had to defrost.

It doesn't hurt to have baking soda in addition to the vinegar. The fire method sparks my curiosity...I might try that next time.
