Cola Cleaning ? "It's the Real Thing"

Coca-Cola was introduced on this day in 1886. Today cola is America's No.1 drink, but did you know it also cleans quick as a wink? For rust, crust and greasy goo, grab a can of cola, too. When chrome faucets get water spots or auto trim and bumpers become rusted, moisten the shiny side of aluminum foil with cola. Rub lightly, wipe and watch the shine return. To clean a toilet bowl, pour in some cola, and let it sit, swish it around and porcelain will sparkle. For grease and oil stains on garage floors, sprinkle cat litter on the spots, grind it in (by twisting on it) sweep it up, then pour on some cola. Scrub with a stiff broom or brush and when the cola quits fizzing, rinse with hot water. Scrub any trace stains with a cup of bleach and a cup of laundry detergent in a gallon of very hot water. When you are done cleaning faucets, bumpers, toilets and the garage floor, grab a cold one for yourself. And that's the On The House tip for today.
