Use For Coke - Cleaning Fabrics Stained With Grease And Oil

by Jana
(Mississippi)

Jana provided a tip for using coke for cleaning automotive grease and oil from clothes. She says:

My husband loves to work on his cars, but when he comes in from outside he always has grease and oil on his clothes.

I soak the dirty clothes in Coca-Cola, generally overnight, and then wash them in the washing machine the next morning.

It generally gets the grease stains out, and doesn't seem to harm the clothes.

Taylor says:

Thanks Jana for sharing your automotive grease stain removal tip with us.

If, for some reason you do get a stain from the Coca-Cola stain itself check out Stain-Removal-101.com's article on removing soda stains.

I would love to hear from people in the comments about whether they have ever used this method successfully, or not, for removing grease stains from clothing.

I use coke to clean my toilet sometimes

I have used coke to clean my toilet in a pinch sometimes! Makes me think it must be bad for my teeth if I can use it for toilet cleaning and removing grease stains.
