38 New Practical Uses For That Can Of Soda - Presentation Transcript

  1. * 38 * NEW PRACTICAL Uses for That Can of Soda, Other Than Quenching Thirst!
  2. CLEANING
    • 1.0
    • Clean Car Battery Terminals
    • There's acid in almost all carbonated drinks. And that helps strip corrosion from car battery terminals. Pour some soda over the battery terminals and let it sit for a while. Wipe off the residue with a wet cloth.
  3. CLEANING
    • 2.0
    • Clean Your Dirty Toilet Bowl
    • Got bad stains, a date coming over in an hour and no toilet cleaner? Pour a can of soda into the bowl. Let it sit for an hour to let the phosphoric acid work on the stains, then brush to loosen the dirt and flush clean.
  4. CLEANING
    • 3.0
    • Remove Rust Spots From Chrome
    • If you have an older car that has real chrome trim, chances are there are some small, and some not so small, rust spots developing on the chrome. Take some crumpled aluminum foil, dip it in some cola and rub the rust off the affected area.
  5. CLEANING
    • 4.0
    • Remove Rust Stains in Your Tub
    • Remember how the phosphoric acid worked to clean the toilet bowl? The same acid will remove rust stains in your tub. Soak a sponge (preferably one with an abrasive side), in some cola and go to work on the stain.
  6. CLEANING
    • 5.0
    • Clean Grout
    • Got some mold and mildew ruining the look of your shower? Soak a sponge with Coke and work it into the grout. Rinse with water.
  7. CLEANING
    • 6.0
    • Remove Grease
    • From Clothes
    • Been working on the car all weekend and greased up more than just the engine? Pouring a can of cola into your washer, along with your regular detergent, is said to help loosen and wash away those grease stains.
  8. CLEANING
    • 7.0
    • Remove
    • Milk Stains From Clothes
    • Got milk? Soak the stain with Coke for about five minutes, then wash normally. It should get the stain out.
  9. CLEANING
    • 8.0
    • Remove Blood Stains From Clothes
    • I'm not going to ask how they got there, but if you soak the stain with cola for five minutes then wash in your machine, the blood should come out. Even dried blood that's been there for a while. (Don't tell the CSI.)
  10. CLEANING
    • 9.0
    • Clean Coins
    • Got a thing for shiny pennies? Collecting state quarters and want them to sparkle? Place your coins in a small dish and soak in Coke for a few hours. Rinse and wipe to a bright shine.
    • (I wouldn't recommend this trick with a rare coin collection. Just in case.)
  11. CLEANING
    • 10.0
    • Clean Grease From Glass. Even Eyeglasses.
    • That same handy phosphoric acid removes grease and grime from glass. Even dried hairspray from mirrors. Just rinse thoroughly with water after.
  12. CLEANING
    • 11.0
    • Clean Oil Stains From Garage Floor or Driveway
    • Pour soda over the stain, let it soak in for a while, then scrub and rinse off with a hose.
  13. CLEANING
    • 12.0
    • Clean
    • Burnt Pans
    • Forget a pot on the stove and now whatever was in it is seared to the bottom? If scrubbing won't get it off, try this: boil some Coke in the pot and the burnt-on mess should lift right out.
  14. AROUND THE HOUSE
    • 13.0
    • Loosen Clogged Drains
    • If your sink is draining slowly and you don't have any drain cleaner in the house, pour a 2-liter bottle of cola down the drain and let the acids go to work on the clog.
  15. AROUND THE HOUSE
    • 14.0
    • Loosen Rusted Nuts and Bolts
    • Soak a rag in cola and wrap it around the rusted-on bolt for a few minutes. The acids and carbonation will help loosen it.

    • Make Flowers Last Longer
    • Got your girl some flowers and you want them to survive through the week? Pour about 1/4 cup of clear soda, like Sprite or 7-Up into a vase full of water. Sugar helps them last longer.
  17. AROUND THE HOUSE
    • 16.0
    • Strip Paint From Metal Patio Furniture
    • Want to refinish some outdoor furniture? Do it the right way and strip off the old paint first. To make it easier, soak a towel in Coke. Let it sit on the furniture for about a week, adding more Coke whenever the towel starts to dry out. The paint should strip off easily.

    • 17.0
    • Kill Slugs and Snails
    • If these pests are invading your lawn and garden, pour a little Coke into shallow dishes or jar lids and spread them throughout your yard. The sugar attracts them, and, just like you remember from when you were a kid, the acid kills them.
