Things to do with Coca-Cola Diet Coke - Business Insider

Pour it around the rim [of tthe toilet] and let it flow into the bowl. Let it sit for about an hour and then scrub off any stubborn stains with a toilet brush. Flush once you're done. Remove stains from clothes: If you get grease stains on your clothes, you can break up the stain with a can of Coke.May 29, 2015

Does using Coke-a-Cola actually work to clean a toilet?
I've read it in emails, but never actually tried.

This has been around for years. Phosphoric acid.

Pour a can of coke into a heavily tea (or coffee) stained ceramic mug. Let it sit until the bubbles are gone....

**Well, yes, but you are better off visiting a pool shop and buying
phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid is used to clean salt water
chlorination elements. It works very well to shift calcium deposits.

I don't drink Coke™. So, "we" do not drink it.

Every five or six pool cleanings can use a muriatic acid flush. And if you rub muriatic acid on your car's hubcaps after a car wash on a sunny day, make sure your sunglasses are on to keep out all of that glare.

Lots of things can clean. But it's pointless using an overpriced weak dilute cleaner.

Phosphoric acid is the main ingredient in rust remover too.
It converts iron oxides to iron phosphates, which are relatively
stable, paintable and pale (not red). I still wouldn't use Coke
for that.

Coke spilt onto a PCB does a really good job of dissolving the copper
tracks.

(I don't drink it for the same reason I don't put 7 teaspoons of sugar in a
cup of tea)

Mpffff... the acids and chemicals in one's stomach put coke to shame. As to the sugar - that is a moving target. As with anything else, all things in moderation.

Using Coke for 'off-label' purposes should be a matter of desperation vs. choice. Writing for myself, I have no need to use such means and methods if more direct processes are available. However, if I am at our summer house and do not want to drive 40 miles round-trip to the nearest Home Depot for one small thing, I will sometimes resort to alternate means and methods.
