ammonia smell
Cleaning chemical odor
A sharp, pungent odor characteristic of ammonia—the colorless gas found in cleaning products, urine, and decaying organic matter.
The smell is unmistakable: acrid and nose-stinging.
The ammonia smell from the litter box told her it needed changing.
In medical contexts, an ammonia smell on the breath or in sweat can signal kidney problems or intense exercise.
