Cleaning chemical (7)

I believe the answer is:

ammonia

(Other definitions for ammonia that I've seen before include "Pungent gas used in cleaning liquids" , "Pungent gas, NH3" , "Gas released by smelling salts" , "Gas compounded of nitrogen and hydrogen, NH3" , "pungent chemical" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
