"They thought I was nuts when I poured Coke® in the washing machine..."
Dear Magic Brands:
When I saw your tip on PAGE 59 for using Coca-Cola® as a stain remover, I just had to see if it really worked. Well, I got my chance when my husband smeared grease on his favorite hunting shirt. So there I was down at the laundromat, pouring a can of Coke® all over it. People looked at me like I was crazy. But when I pulled the shirt from the washer spotless, they sure changed their tune! The grease splotches totally disappeared. I felt so smart! Thank you for all the "magic" in your book!
