Is this the right type of ammonia to cycle with?

I found a 2 quart bottle of ammonia at the hardware store that is unscented so I want to make sure this is the right type. It is Red Max brand Clear Ammonia, and for the ingredients it lists: ammonium hydroxide, and surfactant. Contains no phosphorus. Is this the right kind to use? I have been looking around whenever I go to the store and it seems like they are all lemon or some other kind of scented, so I hope this is the right kind!

No, you need pure ammonia. Do you have an Ace Hardware near you? If so, buy the Ace Hardware brand.

You do not want any Ammonia that contains Surfactant, Which is just a fancy name for Soap or Detergent.

Yes I do have an Ace hardware near by. I'll go check them out. Thank you.
