You Will Need

• Alka-Seltzer
• Water

• 

  Step 1.

  Sanitizing the Toilet

  Drop four tablets into the toilet bowl and leave them for 20 minutes. Brush, flush, and you’re done.

• 

  Step 2.

  Making Your Sink Sparkle

  Fill your bathroom or kitchen sink halfway with water, drop in two tablets. Let stand for 20 minutes, drain, and rinse.

• You can even soothe an insect bite with Alka-Seltzer. Dissolve two tablets in water, saturate a cotton ball, and press it on the sting for quick relief.

• 

  Step 3.

  Quickly Cleaning Greasy Cookware

  Fill dirty pots and pans with warm water, add five tablets, and let everything sit for an hour. Wipe, rinse, and you’re good to go.

• 

  Step 4.

  Refreshing Your Vase

  Remove the icky residue that gathers at the impossible-to-reach bottom of narrow-neck vases by filling them halfway with water and adding two tablets. Wait until the fizzing stops, then rinse the vase clean.

• 

  Step 5.

  Shining Your Jewelry

  To clean jewelry, dissolve two Alka-Seltzer tablets into a glass of warm water and immerse the jewelry, letting it soak for two minutes.

• Research shows Alka-Seltzer can even help you cope with nicotine withdrawal! Drink a glass of water with two dissolved tablets three times a day to help curb the cravings.

• 

  Step 6.

  Revitilizing Your Coffee Maker

  Fill your coffeemaker with water and plop in four Alka-Seltzer tablets. Once they’ve dissolved, put the coffeemaker through a brew cycle to clean the tubes. Rinse the chamber a few times, then run a second cycle with plain water. Your next cup will taste great.

• Alka-Seltzer’s famous jingle, “Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh, what a relief it is!” was written by actress Julianna Margulies’ father.

I think Alka-Seltzer is more expensive than a bottle of cleaner =]] But its still a neat idea!

If you buy the store brand it saves more money. It works good for hard to reach places, like the narrow neck vases and works on stubborn stains on plastic if you let it soak a while.
