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

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 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.

Tip: 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.

[Geoffr524]

This is probably the best use of expired Alka-Seltzer. Use it for this, instead of throwing it out. I just found an old one that expired Sept. 1998, I can try that stuff.
