Because we're concerned about indoor air quality, my husband and I have significantly reduced the number of chemicals we use in our home. I have asthma, which has long made it difficult for me to use strong cleaners. We have small children, and we want to protect their health. And we're concerned about the effect of chemical cleaners on the environment long term.

So I've slowly been learning new ways to clean and have assembled my own non-toxic cleaning kit. I was surfing around today, looking for more recipes for homemade cleaners and came across this tip. Clean your toilet bowl with flat Coca-Cola. You simply pour it in, let it sit an hour, then get down to scrubbing.

I'm not convinced this is the solution for me, but if you have some old Coke sitting around, it might be worth a try! If cleaning without strong chemicals interests you, Grist has a guide that can get you started.

    What's funny is you say "cleaning without strong chemicals." After all I've heard about coke, I WOULD consider it a strong chemical. AND WE DRINK IT!

    That crossed my mind too!

    I do house work in the nude, so does it matter about 12 oz. of Coke in a toilet?
