We believe everyone is familiar with Coca-Cola. Do you know that Coca-Cola could also be a good helper for housewives? Let's take a look at the hidden usages of Coca-Cola!
#1. Remove Rust Stains
It is fast and convenient to remove the rust stains on metal after we use the mixture of Coca-Cola and toothpaste to wipe the surface of rusted metal. That is because the carbonic acid in Coca-Cola will chemically react with the rust, and decomposes the rust.
#2. Clear Burnt Kitchen Cooking Utensils
It is very difficult to clean a burnt kitchen cooking utensil even if it is rubbed vigorously with dish soap. It is better to put the Coca-Cola into the pot and boil it on a low fire. Then, leave it for about an hour, and wash the pot as usual. You will find that these burnt substances will be much easier to clean.
#3. Clean The Dirt In The Crevices Of The Toilet Floor Tiles
It is difficult to remove the dirt in the crevices of the toilet floor tiles. It is very unsightly if the floor crevices become darker. Magically, Coca-Cola can remove the dirt on the floor if we pour it onto the crevices of the toilet floor tiles, leave it for a while, and then brush them out.
#4. Remove Stains On Clothing
It is expensive to buy strong detergents. Unexpectedly, Coca-Cola can remove yellowing stains and oil stains on clothes!
Now, you can save money by soaking the clothes in Coca-Cola together with ordinary detergent.
#5. Good Strengthening Effect On Hair
The phosphoric acid in Coca-Cola has a good strengthening effect on the stratum corneum (epidermis/ outer layer) of the hair, providing some nutritions for our hair. When washing your hair, you can pour some coke on your hair, but remember to clean it afterwards!
#6. As An Insecticide
There is a folklore that Indian farmers use Coca-Cola as insecticides to remove insects. Put a bowl of Coca-Cola in places where bugs frequently appear.
The bugs will be attracted by the sweetness of Coca-Cola, and they will fly into the bowl and drown in it instead.
#7. Treat Colds
