Materials Needed

To make this homemade cleaning mix, you’ll need:

• 1 glass of water (at about 60°C)
• 1 tablespoon salt (to increase cleaning capacity)
• 1 tablespoon baking soda (to reinforce the cleansing effect)
• 1 bar of soap (preferably laundry or neutral)
• 1/2 liter of Coca-Cola (or any cola drink with phosphoric acid)

Step-by-step procedure

1. Prepare the cleaning base

• Heat the water to about 60°C (without boiling).
• Add the salt and baking soda to the water and mix well until completely dissolved.

2. Grate the soap

• Use a grater to grate the bar of soap into small pieces.
• If you prefer, you can cut the soap into thin strips with a knife.
• Choose a scented soap if you want the product to leave a pleasant smell after cleaning.

3. Combine all the ingredients

• Pour the grated soap into a saucepan and add the Coca-Cola.
• Stir gently while heating over low heat (without boiling) until the soap is completely dissolved.
• Add the mixture of water, salt and baking soda to the melted soap and mix well until you get a homogeneous solution.

4. Store the product

• Pour the product into a container or mold to make it easy to use.
• You can let it sit at room temperature to take on a solid soap-like texture or pop it in the freezer for faster use.

5. Use the mixture to clean

• Apply a small amount of the mixture to a damp sponge or cloth.
• Use the mixture to clean greasy surfaces, such as the stove, oven, tile, or sink.
• You can also use it to clean the bathroom (tiles, sink, bathtub and faucets).
• To clean the toilet, place a piece of the mixture inside, leave it on overnight, and clean in the morning.

Tips & Advice

• Don’t use Diet Coke or Zero: The phosphoric acid content in these versions is lower, which reduces the cleansing effect.
• Avoid overheating: Do not let the mixture boil, as phosphoric acid can lose effectiveness at very high temperatures.
• Add natural fragrance: If you want a pleasant scent, add a few drops of lemon or lavender essential oil to the mixture.
• Ideal for stainless steel surfaces: The mixture is excellent for restoring shine to metal surfaces.
• Avoid marble or granite surfaces: Phosphoric acid can damage these porous surfaces.
