Measure 1-2 cups of Coke. Open a bottle or can of Coke. No need to use too much to clean the toilet. Standard-size cans containing 1.5 cups are plenty. For larger bottles or cans of Coke, you should measure out 1.5 cups and pour them into a glass.

Coca-cpa acts as a cleaning agent thanks to its mild CO2 and phosphoric acid composition. These chemicals come from the carbonation process, not from the flavoring in soft drinks, so Diet Coke is just as effective as regular Coca-Cola. That means you can also use other carbonated drinks (usually not as cheap as Coca-cpa) instead. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Pour Coke into the toilet bowl. Pour Coca-cpa around the edge of the toilet bowl. Let the water run over the stain underneath. Make sure all stains are evenly watered with Coca-cpa. Most of the Coke will float to the bottom of the toilet, but a thin layer will remain on the yellow stain.

For stains on the top of the toilet that are hard to reach, you can try dipping an old rag in Coca-cpa and then wiping it with your hands. Or you can pour Coke into the bottle to spray if you don’t want to get your hands dirty.

Let Coca-cpa take effect. Patience is key. The longer Coca-cpa is left in the toilet, the higher the ability to dissolve acid stains in Coca-cpa. You should leave Coke in the toilet for at least 1 hour and not touch it.

To increase the cleaning effect, you can pour Coca-cpa into the toilet before going to bed and leave it overnight.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/64/Clean-a-Toilet-with-Coke-Step-4.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Toilet- with-Coke-Step-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/64/Clean-a-Toilet-with-Coke-Step-4.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Toilet-with-Coke-Step-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Water discharge. During the time Coca-cpa is in the toilet, the acid will slowly soften the stains that have built up inside. At this point, you can flush the toilet once. Soft stains will be washed away (at least partially) with water from the toilet bowl.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3a/Clean-a-Toilet-with-Coke-Step-5.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Toilet- with-Coke-Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3a/Clean-a-Toilet-with-Coke-Step-5.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Toilet-with-Coke-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Repeat if necessary. At this point, you can see the stain removal effect of Coca-cpa. Note, however, that while it’s possible to remove yellow lines and mineral deposits (a common problem with toilets), Coca-cpa may not be able to completely remove all stains. If you want to completely remove the stain, simply add another round of Coke and repeat the process.

If the stain is still not gone after the second wash, you should read the next section for toilet stains that are particularly difficult to remove.

For stubborn stains

Rub several times. A traditional toilet brush is the best tool if a simple flush doesn’t remove the stain. The mechanism of action of a brush (or tool similar to a sanding pad) will help soften accumulated stains and remove them from the toilet wall after Coca-cpa treatment. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after scrubbing the toilet and wear gloves if the bacteria make you nauseous.

For best results, you should scrub before and after using Coca-cpa. In other words:
Open the toilet bowl and scrub the stain with a brush.
Pour Coke over.
Let Coca-cpa take effect.
Use the brush to scrub once and then rinse the stain away.

Use heat. In general, chemical reactions take place much faster at high temperatures. The acid reaction that helps Coca-cpa remove stains in the toilet is no exception. For stubborn stains, you should try reheating Coke in the microwave before pouring it into the toilet. Boiling is not required, but for best results, Coca-cpa must become too hot to touch. Be careful when handling hot Coke.

Never use a microwave oven to heat carbonated soft drinks (or any other liquid) in an airtight container or metal container. This action can cause the hot liquid to explode and is very dangerous. Instead, you should pour carbonated soft drinks into a glass jar (the type that can be used in the microwave like a glass or porcelain jar), then put it in the microwave.
Reheating causes the Coca-cpa to bubble up a bit more than usual, so you need to wear gloves to avoid splashes of water. ^{[2] X Research Source}

Use Coke along with other household cleaners. While it can remove many stains, Coca-cpa is not always the best stain remover. For stubborn stains, you should try combining Coca-cpa with other cleaning solutions. Here are some other cleaning methods using household items that you can try:

Try mixing 1/2 cup of vinegar, 1/4 cup of baking soda (or 2 teaspoons of borax) into a 2-quart jug of water. Apply the mixture to the toilet, scrub it, and wait 1 hour before flushing. Can be further treated with Coca-cpa if needed.
To treat mold, you can try mixing hydrogen peroxide with water in a ratio of 1:2 and then pouring it into a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on the mold surface, let it sit for at least 1 hour and then scrub until the mold dissolves. Use Coca-cpa to remove residue stains or contours around the mold.
Try mixing borax with lemon juice and Coca-cpa in a ratio of 2:1:1 to create another multi-touch cleaning solution. Apply the mixture to the toilet bowl, let it sit for about an hour, and then scrub the stain away.

Realize that Coke is not the best choice. Coca-cpa is suitable for removing most mineral deposits and stains commonly found in toilet bowls. However, Coca-cpa is not always effective on rare stains so you may need to use other solutions. Eg:

Coca-cpa is not suitable for removing greasy or sticky grease stains. For these stains, it’s best to use dish soap, detergent, or a strong acid like vinegar. ^{[3] X Research Sources}
Coca-cpa is not suitable for killing bacteria. In fact, the sugar residue left over from regular Coke can become food for certain types of bacteria. Therefore, you should use soap, commercially available cleaning solutions, or alcohol-based sanitizers to kill microorganisms.
Coca-cpa does not help remove stains caused by ink, dyes or pigments. Instead, Isopropyl alcohol and other chemical solvents are the best choice. ^{[4] X Research Sources}

Advice

As noted above, using carbonated mineral water and other carbonated drinks is also effective because the carbonation process produces carbonic acid which helps Coca-cpa remove stains in the toilet bowl. Carbonated mineral water is often a better household cleaning product because it leaves no sugar residue. However, carbonated mineral water is rarely used to clean toilets.
The American Mythbusters Program demonstrates that Coca-cpa may not be effective in removing oil stains. Coca-cpa only helps to remove mineral deposits.
The acid in Coca-cpa is safe to consume. Orange juice (for example) is much more acidic. ^{[5] X Research Sources}
If you live with other people, let them know in advance what you plan to do. Otherwise, they will think you forgot to flush the toilet and will flush it for you, thereby affecting your toilet cleaning efforts.
To flush the toilet, you can pour a bucket of water in. This will push the water out of the toilet and the water won’t be refilled until you push the flush button.
