Spring Cleaning Hacks You'll Wish You'd Found Out Years Ago

Clean Your Toilet With Cola

Corrosive properties in most sodas can easily clean away any hard-to-reach stains in your toilet. Sugars and carbonation found in an average can of soda eat up all the solids that stick to the sides of porcelain. Next time you order a liter of Coke with your takeout, consider other uses to save your cholesterol before guzzling it down.

Put some aluminum foil in the bottom of your fireplace before you lay down your logs.
Drain away any excess fat while baking by placing meatballs on a baking rack. The extra fat drips away, you’ll retain that browned, caramelized exterior you know and love.
