For best results, use this method once a month to maintain clear pipes.

Store Coca-Cola at room temperature to prevent excessive foaming when poured.

Do not mix with bleach or strong chemical drain cleaners.

Variations:
Add baking soda (½ cup) before pouring Coca-Cola for extra fizz and cleaning power.

Use Pepsi or another cola brand as a substitute.

Add lemon juice to enhance acidity.

FAQ:
1. Does this really work?
Yes, Coca-Cola contains phosphoric acid, which helps dissolve buildup and light blockages.

2. Is it safe for all plumbing types?
It’s generally safe for standard kitchen and bathroom pipes but avoid frequent use in older or delicate plumbing.

3. Can I use it in the toilet or shower drain?
Yes, but it’s most effective on greasy kitchen drains.

4. Will it damage my pipes?
No — Coca-Cola is less harsh than chemical cleaners, though it’s not a replacement for deep cleaning or professional help when needed.
