It turns out I've gotten a couple of good tips already for how people use Coke not just as a beverage, but for other uses around their home.
That got me thinking -- are there even more uses for Coke that other people, like you, might be able to share?
I would love to hear your ideas, so share your tips below. You can skip down here to share your tips right now.
I also tried to figure out what is is about Coke that allows it to be a stain remover and cleaner. My research has indicated that it is the phosphoric acid contained within the Coke which is the active cleaning ingredient.
Phosphoric acid is not only in Coke, and many other soft drinks, but also a component of toilet bowl cleaners, other bathroom cleaners for tubs and tiles, and in many lime descalers and hard water removers. It is also found in denture cleaners and certain metal polishes.
Of course Coca-Cola, along with the phosphoric acid, also contains other ingredients, including dyes that may themselves cause stains. Here is my article on removing soda stains, with tips and tricks for removing these types of stains from clothing, upholstery and carpet if a stain results in use.
So, share your tips below for your uses for Coca Cola for cleaning, stain removal and more around your home.
