Do you have some pesky, hard to remove stains which won’t come off?
You have probably heard some common myths about Coca Cola. Children are scared away from Coke by scary stories of coke melting bones and teeth while the adults have a good laugh on the inside.
What if we told you, there is some element of truth to those myths? While you might be thinking about the tooth in the Coke experiment, that is not quite what we mean. Coca Cola actually does have slightly corrosive properties. The company will not tell you about it and won’t advertise it, but it is true. This has to do with the phosphoric acid in the drink.
But hold on! Before you go and drain all the Coke bottles in your house, you should know this property makes Coke a housewife’s best friend! Coca Cola can be the miracle cleaner for many stains and objects.
Toilet Cleaning
I think we can all agree that no one likes a dirty toilet bowl. Stains, grime, and residue are turnoffs for everyone. Sometimes, even the strongest detergents can’t seem to do the trick.
So, what should you do?
Take some coke and pour it over the affected area or spray it on. Let it sit there for some time. Wash and scrub the bowl and voila, you will find it sparkling.
Grease Removal
Grease can be one of the toughest substances to clean from clothes and dishware. It gets caked on to dishware after repeated cooking and use. Removing it can be a very difficult task and requires specialized expensive cleaners.
Or, how about you skip all that, pour on some coke, and let it work its magic. Soak the grease-affected clothing in coke before tossing them for a normal wash. You will find them spotless. Dishware might take two or three tries before it gets cleaned completely.
Rust Removal
Rust can leave otherwise perfectly working tools unfit for use. It can attack precious belongings and cause them to lose their look.
With Coca Cola, you can take care of rust in no time. Coke is one of the most effective substances for combating rust. This is because of the carbonation and phosphoric acid in the drink. When applied to rust, Coke can eat away at it and make it weak. You can then easily scrape and clean it away.
Garden Pesticide
Is your garden being attacked by snails and slugs? Do you find your precious plants with holes in them? Take the Coke to your garden.
Spray Coke on plants and any snails or slugs you see. You can also leave it in small containers. The sweetness of the Coke attracts these pests while the acid in it begins to kill them from the inside.
Easy pest control, all with a Coke bottle.
