    Default Using Coca Cola to Clean a Toilet

    I read on a tips website somewhere that pouring a can of Coke in your toilet and waiting an hour was supposed to remove rust and other stains. I tried it and it didn't work. Has anyone else tried this?

    No, I've never tried that but I don't buy coke or soda. I use powdered cleanser like comet or ajax and the toilet brush to clean the toilet if it's really dirty.

    Yep, I've tried it, and no it didn't work for me either.

    i use javex or denture bleach tablets in the bottom of the toilet . we have sand sometimes back up from the pipes in our buildings and lots of hard water from the chemicals in the water.

    Nope. I use Lime-a-way. Our municipal water is not too good, and so it is a problem here if you skip a few days of cleaning.

    You have to ask yourself if Coke is recommended as a domestic household cleaner, then why on earth would anyone drink the stuff?

    To me it would be the same as drinking bleach.

    I use Coke to clean jewellery, coins, and to get the oil stains off the concrete where hubby's car has leaked. Works a treat.

    I agree with you Oz! We got several 2 liter bottles and soaked some rusted cast iron skillets in it...the coke cleaned up up in about 2 hours!! They look like new!

    coke is actually what most police have in the trunks of their cars to clean up bodily fluids off the pavement.

    my dh was a disaster cleanup tech...(he was the body and flood guy) used coke to clean up most. yuck.
