- - Eco-friendly: A great way to use up flat or leftover cola instead of throwing it away.
  - Cost-effective: Utilizes inexpensive ingredients that are often already available at home.
  - Efficient: Quickly cuts through tough stains and rust, reducing the amount of scrubbing needed.
    - Mixing the Solution:
      - Pour about one cup of cola into a bowl.
      - Add three tablespoons of salt and stir until the salt is partially dissolved in the cola. The mixture should feel gritty.
    - Cleaning Application:
      - Apply the cola and salt mixture to the stained or dirty area. This could be anything from a greasy stovetop, a stained bathtub, or even rust marks on tools.
      - Let the mixture sit on the surface for a few minutes to allow the acid in the cola and the abrasiveness of the salt to penetrate and lift the grime.
    - Scrubbing and Rinsing:
      - After letting it sit, scrub the area with a brush or sponge. You’ll notice that the combination of cola and salt helps to loosen and lift stubborn stains and buildup.
      - Rinse the area thoroughly with water or wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove any sticky residue.
    Tips for Best Results
    - Use this method for occasional deep cleaning rather than daily use, as the acidity of cola can be harsh on some surfaces over time.
    - Always test the mixture on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t damage the surface.
    - This method works best on ceramic, porcelain, and stainless steel surfaces.
