Wow. That is some concentrated ammonia! I think standard household ammonia is closer to 3 or 4%, so you'll need to use very little of that.

My standard mix is:
1 part nonsudsing household ammonia
4 parts 50% or 70% isopropyl alcohol
5 parts steam distilled or filtered water

So you'd need to use something closer to:

1/10th part 35% ammonia
3 parts 99% isopropyl
7 parts steam distilled or filtered water

Don't use drinking water or "purified" water. That just means they killed all the live stuff, and still has all the minerals and such in it.

More ammonia is -not- better.
