Coke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886,making it a favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries.This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.
Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster (除锈剂).If you have a bunch of small rusty objects,put them in coke overnight and give them a good scrub in the morning.Coke helps to break down the rust,making cleaning much easier.Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.
Like the previous item,the citric acid (柠檬酸) in coke can be an excellent window cleaner.This is especially useful for car windows.Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window,and then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter in the drink.As coke is full of sugar,you should clean the sticky matter off the window,or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.
For those of you who live in areas where skunk (臭鼬) smells can be an issue from time to time,one can of coke added to water with detergent (清洁剂) really helps to break the smell down.If you have been sprayed,stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke—wait for a few minutes,and then wash yourself with a shower.Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!
Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom.The black is almost impossible to remove;this is caused by over-cooking.To remove the black and renew your pot,pour in a can of coke (or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch) and put it on the stove on a low heat.After an hour or so,wash the pot as normal.
