| How to Clean a Toilet With Coke Sep 1st 2012, 08:00 Is your toilet full of limescale and other nasty stains and you don't have a chemical toilet cleaner on hand? Or are you looking for less expensive and/or non-toxic cleaning solutions? Don't worry, just reach for the fridge, and grab a Coke! - Pour a can or bottle of Coke into the bowl. Pour it around the rim so it flows over the stains around the inside of the bowl.
- Let it sit for an hour or more. The carbonic, citric, and phosphoric acids in the Coke will break down stains.[1][2] For extra cleaning power, let the Coke sit in the toilet overnight.
- Clean the toilet with a brush (optional). If there are lots of stubborn stains, you may need to use a brush to further loosen them before going to the next step.
- Flush. The stains will be gone!
- Since it's the phosphoric acid that does a lot of the work in cleaning the toilet, it's just as effective to use soda water, and it might be better because it won't have a sugary residue.[1]
