Here's a number of surprising magic a bottle of coke can perform. I have not tried them all but hey! its a safe bottle of coke so it shouldn't hurt to try.
1. RUST BUSTER
-Coke is an excellent rust buster. If you have some small objects that need de-rusting and you have no rust-buster on hand, all you have to do is soak the iron(object) overnight in coca-cola and give a good scrub in the morning.
-You can also use rough textured cloths dipped in coke to clean different objects
1b. How to Loosen a rusty bolt:
You have a rusty bolt that’s giving you a hard time and you want to loosen it? Nothing simpler as long as you have your trusty coke at hand. Just pour on some Coke and wait.
2. CLEANING
