Interesting facts about Coca-Cola

To understand the features of cleaning plumbing using the drink in question, you should know a few interesting facts:

Composition The liquid contains a small amount of phosphoric acid, which causes the fact that it can dissolve very persistent deposits of the most diverse origin. The effectiveness of the composition in such cases is proved by repeated experiments.
Good rust removal Many people know that if you put a metal object in a cola, then within 2-3 days it is able to remove corrosion from the surface almost completely. That is why it can be used to clean the toilet bowl or its individual elements.
Security Unlike aggressive chemicals, this option does not harm human health and does not cause chemical burns or allergic reactions. Of course, the effectiveness of the drink as a cleaning agent is lower, but for dealing with the bloom, which has not yet managed to penetrate deep into the surface, it suits perfectly
Odor removal In addition to all the above properties, one more fact should be noted - the surface treatment with the considered beverage helps to get rid of an unpleasant smell.

Work Methods

Consider how to clean the toilet with Coca-Cola using two methods, each of them is different in the duration of the procedure and some features of the work. All operations are very simple and you can easily do it yourself, moreover, due to the fact that the price of the drink is not high, you can save money, and even if the result is not as expected, you will not incur big expenses.

Remember! During the work, it is necessary to check that there is no leakage in the toilet, otherwise the constant duct will wash the applied liquid and reduce the cleaning efficiency to zero. Coke should react with the surface as long as possible, only due to this its effect is ensured.

 Quick option

Instructions for work is as follows:

  • All dirt should be removed from the surface, if part of the coating is removed with a brush - it must also be removed.. After that, you need to wait for a short period of time to completely dry the walls, this will greatly increase the efficiency of further processing.
  • Next, you should find a cloth or any other material that absorbs moisture well, the better the absorbency, the more effective the treatment will be. It is important that the surface is exposed to liquid as intensely and evenly as possible.
  • After that, rags or sponges are soaked with a drink and applied to all areas where there is plaque.. To improve the effect, the laid rags are additionally watered with cola, periodically the material can be moistened (once in half an hour). The toilet lid is also recommended to close and leave for 1-2 hours.
  • Then all the attached materials are removed, and the surface is washed with clean water (you can simply flush the toilet several times).

Tip! If the raid did not come off at once, then you can repeat the processing. In some cases, when rust is ingrained deeply, only special products based on acids or alkalis will help.

After treatment, it is advisable to further clean the surface with a brush.

Traditional option

Consider how to flush the toilet with Coca-Cola in a way that takes more time and is better known among the people.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

  • First of all, the surface is cleaned of dirt and grease stains when present (cola copes well with mineral deposits, but practically does not dissolve fat, so the results depend on the surface cleanliness).
  • Next, the surface is treated with Coca-Cola, while trying to fill all the problem areas and get even under the rim of the toilet. After that, the product is recommended to leave for 1-2 hours, and it is better to leave it at all for the whole night so that the patina softens even more.
Coca-Cola cleans the toilet no worse than many budget funds.
  • After that, the toilet should be cleaned with a brush or a brush; this should be done carefully and carefully, treating each section. As a rule, the plaque with which the cola can cope is softened and removed quite easily. Otherwise, you will need more powerful tools.
  • Finally, the last part of the work is flushing the surface with clean water. You should carefully study the result of this operation, if there are positive changes, the procedure can be repeated. If the plaque is completely removed, this cleaning can be done once a month as a preventive measure.

Tip! The sooner you start to solve a problem, the easier it will be. If Coca-Cola removes small deposits and plaque without problems, the old layer is unlikely to be cleaned.
