Yes ammonia is good for cleaning windows.

However you don't want to use straight ammonia on your windows.

To use Ammonia on your windows to clean your windows mix the ammonia with some water and also mix in 70 percent rubbing alcohol and some dish detergent.

Then use the mixture of water, rubbing alcohol, dish detergent and ammonia to clean your windows to prevent them from streaking.

Using straight ammonia to clean your windows will leave streaks on the window which is not a good thing.

You can also use just some vinegar and water to clean your windows as well.

I use vinegar and water to even clean my TV screen, computer screen etc.

I haven't washed the windows by my own for a long time, but I read somewhere that vinegar is more suitable for this. I don't know much about this, becouse I prefer to hire professionals with special equipment, who, I'm sure,  know best of all what exactly needs to be used to keep your windows clean and remained so for long time. It seems to me that you should visit their site https://sparklewindowwashing.com/ to understand what they use for their work. I also believe that window cleaning can be dangerous if you live in the high-rise building and that sometimes it's better to pay for such services than wasting your free time doing such household chores.

Ammonia is an ingredient in Windex as well as some other window cleaning solutions.

So yes you can use some ammonia diluted in water to help clean windows.

Also you can use diluted vinegar by adding half vinegar and half water to a spray bottle and then spray the window with the solution and then use a rag or sponge to wash your windows with.

I also use vinegar and water solution to clean my car windows and windshield as well.

Vinegar and water solution is also good to clean my computer monitor as well as my LED TV screen too.

The vinegar and water is a good natural window cleaner.
