When I was young, I learned why drinking Coke was harmful to your health. “It’ll make your teeth rot,” my mom said. “It’s poisonous,” a friend once told me. Let’s look at the Coke cleaning hacks that have surfaced in the last few years.

Clothing Stains
If you’ve got clothes with asphalt or creosote stains, then you know how difficult they can be to eliminate.

Therefore, put your ineffective stain removers away and join the crowd for an alternative, less expensive stain remover.
