Yep. That's right. Use soda also to scour rust and tarnish stains. You can use coffee grounds to get rid of bad odors too. White bread is a great thing to use to clean up shattered glass. Great idea huh? And how about ketchup to clean tarnished and stained pans? Some metal surfaces can be polished with hydrogen peroxide and rubbing alcohol to clean and disinfect electronics. If any of these sound interesting read more about them in this about article:

I hear that the soda can clean the toilet. But I am not going to try it since I think it is a waste to use it to clean the toilet.

That's all new info for me. I remember my dad saying Coke cleaning battery cables on a car. I like this new way of using stuff like this to clean pots and pans and stuff.

Ether is quite good for electrical or electronic equipment because it will dissipate and leave the circuits dry.

Apparently coca-cola does a pretty good job of cleaning chrome.

I just found out that if you have those little fruit flies around, you can get rid of them easily. Pour some apple cider vinegar in a dish or cup and add a drop or two of dish detergent. They drown in it and no more fruit flies after a while.

I heard that by pouring a bottle of cheap cola down the toilet will leave it sparkling clean! Probably the best place for it and much cheaper than disinfectant and bleach!
