How to Clean a Rusty Nail With Coke

If you do cut yourself, you may need a tetanus shot.

1. Drop the nail or nails into the bowl.

2. Pour Coke slowly over the nails to submerge them. Coke, especially if it's fresh, will bubble up and spill over the bowl if you pour too much.

3. Soak the nails in the Coke for 30 minutes.

4. Dump out the nails and Coke into a sink. Rinse the nails with water.

5. Inspect each nail. Scrub off any remaining rust with the toothbrush, and rinse with water.

6. Lay the nails out to dry before using or storing.
