It may sound strange, but mixing Coca-Cola with soap has become a viral cleaning trick — and while it’s definitely not something you should drink or use on your skin, this combo can be surprisingly useful around the house. Here’s what it’s really good for:
🧽 1. Powerful Degreaser for Stubborn Surfaces
Coca-Cola contains phosphoric acid, which helps break down grease, grime, and rust. When mixed with a bit of liquid dish soap, it creates a bubbly cleaner that works well on:
- Oily stovetops
- Burnt pans
- Car engine grease
- Outdoor grills
🛢️ 2. Rust Remover for Tools and Metal
Dip rusty tools or screws in the Coca-Cola + soap mix, or apply it with a sponge. Leave it for 10–15 minutes, scrub gently, and rinse. The rust loosens and wipes away more easily.
🚽 3. Toilet Bowl Cleaner (Yes, Really!)
Pour a can of Coca-Cola into your toilet bowl, add a squirt of soap, and let it sit for 30 minutes. The fizzing action helps loosen stains and mineral buildup. Scrub and flush for a surprisingly clean finish.
🧤 How to Make the Mix:
- 1 cup Coca-Cola
- 2–3 tablespoons dish soap
- Stir gently in a bowl or spray bottle
- Apply with a sponge or cloth for cleaning tasks
⚠️ Important Notes:
- This is not a natural cleaner. Use gloves when cleaning.
- Never mix with bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Don’t use on wood, upholstery, or porous surfaces.
- Definitely not for personal hygiene or food use!
In a Fizz:
Mixing Coca-Cola with soap isn’t a health remedy — but it can be a surprisingly effective DIY cleaning hack for specific greasy or rusty messes. Just keep it in the cleaning cupboard, not the kitchen! 🧼🥤✨
