LIFE HACKS
WHY COKE IS MORE THAN JUST .. TASTY
The chemicals in a bottle of Coke have properties that remove rust and hard water stains on some surfaces. Believe it or not, you can pour Coca-Cola into your toilet bowl and let it sit for a few minutes to make it easier to erase unsightly stains. Since Coca-Cola eats away rust, you can put small, rust, metal parts, like screws, in a glass bowl and cover them with Coke. After a bit, you’ll be able to easily brush the rust away.

Food exploding and splattering in the microwave creates a tough, disgusting mess that is hard to clean. From spaghetti sauce to chicken noodle soup to melted butter, the spills in your microwave cook onto the tray. If you don’t wipe up spills right away – and who does that? – microwave messes can pose a problem.
You can soften the baked-on food and spills, making them easier to clean, by microwaving a full glass of water for a few minutes. Keep the glass in the microwave for about five minutes to let the steam seep into the hardened food. You will be able to more easily wipe the spills and residue from the inside of your microwave.
