Hello Everyone,

If you find that instead of becoming dull one of your knife blades becomes rusty, try this neat little idea. Just grab a fresh onion and start chopping up the onion with the blade of the rusty knife. Make sure you chop with the part that is rusty. This action will help in a couple of ways. First, the juice from the onion will help loosen the rust. Second, the action of rubbing the now-juiced rust stain against the onion will help rub the rust out. With most rust stains, one onion will remove all of the rust from your knife.

Soak it in Cola scrub a little and...immediately put it in the washing machine. The stain will be gone as if it was never there.

Eliminate Oil Spills

If oil has leaked from your car, messing your garage floor or
driveway... you can pour Coke over the spill, scrub with a broom and let it sit for 15 minutes, then wash the stain away.
