Coca-Cola, Good For Cleaning My Toilets!

Coca-Cola, Good For Cleaning My Toilets!

We now know that Coke is not good for your health.

But what to do with our leftover bottles and cans lying around in the back of the fridge.

What if we flush them down the toilet?

In fact, we already knew more or less about the corrosive effects of Coca-Cola.

Who has never heard of rusty nails completely stripped after a night submerged in a glass of this soda?

But do you know the household use of Coca-Cola?

Well here, we will be able to use our supply of Coke to clean and descale our toilets. Watch:

How to

1. Empty the equivalent of a can into the toilet bowl.

2. Leave on for an hour or better overnight.

3. Flush.

Result

There you go, your toilets are now all clean :-)

Easy, fast and efficient, right?

No more traces at the bottom of the bowl! Coke is a great stripper.

Putting Coca-Cola in the toilet is weird. But it works for scrubbing them!

Coke disintegrates dirt, yellow or brown traces of limescale in the WC.

It removes traces of encrusted limescale or dirt due to urine effortlessly.

Good to know, it is compatible with septic tanks!

It is a practical alternative for descaling...

Especially when you don't have baking soda and vinegar, soda crystals or citric acid on hand.

Why does it work?

It is the phosphoric acid contained in this type of drink that is effective on dirt.

It acts on the encrusted dirt of our toilets and removes the tartar in the bowl.

It strips toilets and whitens the bottom of the bowl.

It's still a great trick to get black toilets back, isn't it?

Bonus tip

- If you need to unclog a drain, Coca-Cola can help.

If we have small blockages in our toilets, the same trick should overcome them.

Provided of course that they are not too large and resistant.

- By making a back and forth movement with the brush, you will drive out some of the water in the pipes.

Result, the Coke will be less diluted, therefore, more effective! And that's perfect for cleaning very dirty toilets.

But don't worry... It's very easy to do. Find out how here.

So rather than throwing away the Coke we bought before learning how to save, it was harmful to our health...

If we used it for our household chores?

Toilet descaler costs at least $4 a bottle.

Not very expensive, but since we still have Coke that we no longer drink at home, we might as well recycle it and not spend a euro more!

Smart, economical and ecological!
