4. Transfer to Squeeze Bottle

Decant the mixture into a squeeze bottle. I used an old coke bottle for this and poked a hole in the lid. It's a simple hack that works wonders!

5. Apply the DIY Bathroom Cleaner

This versatile cleaner can be used all around your bathroom – on toilets, sinks, showers, tubs, and tiles for sparkling results. Squeeze the mixture onto the desired areas and use a cloth to spread it evenly. Leave it on; the longer, the better.

6. Tackle Stubborn Stains

For stubborn stains, soak a paper towel in the mixture and place it on the stained area.

Scrub the toilet

Let it sit for a while, then give it a good scrub with a sponge, cloth, or, for toilets, use the toilet brush.

Wipe the sink

7. Rinse Thoroughly

Once you're done cleaning, rinse the area well with a wet cloth to remove any remaining dirt and detergent.

    Was wondering if the acid in the coke is bad for the enamel and the finish on fixture.

    Just a comment. But since coke cleans this well, can you imagine what it does to your stomach??

      The gastric acid in your stomach's digestive fluids is much stronger than any of the acids found in Coca-Cola.
