How to Clean a Toilet With Coke

You know those icky toilet rings and plain old stains your toilet bowl get – well if you are in a pinch grab a can of coke.

All the acids ( like citric acid) and carbon break down stains.

Simple pour the can of coke into the toilet and leave it over night ( or at least one hour).

You should not have to brush before you flush the coke ;) But I would do a little scrubbing if there is a difficult stain.

It’s also effective for removing corrosion on car battery terminals… my husband and his friends have done that for years.

I would use something clear like 7up, tried this a few years ago and the coke actually stained.

@renee – it’s just because its acid… It’s like how vinegar removes really hard water build up/calcium build up but its totally fine to put into our food

See @Lillian’s comment. ^ I assume you have no qualms with vinegar in your salad dressing.

Awesome! If I had a can of coke sitting around, this is definitely what I’d do with it because I wouldn’t drink it haha.

Did you know you can also do this with the tablets used for cleaning dentures? Works like a charm and the price for a tube full of tablets is probably the same if not cheaper then a can of coke and this will last you longer!
Just put 1 or 2 in the toilet and let it stay for an hour or overnight and your good to go. If the stain is still there, just repeat until its gone!

I could see how this would work for the ring around the water level, but what about the grim and yuck up underneath the inside of the bowl?
