My research investigates the potential of common food items as substitutes for dishwashing detergent. Specifically, I will test fizzy drinks like Coke, Pepsi, and Sprite, along with vinegar and lemon, to see if they possess cleaning properties similar to traditional detergent. By applying grease to containers and using a soak/scrub method, I aim to assess the efficacy of these substitutes. This project stems from my curiosity about the rumored cleaning abilities of Coca-Cola and seeks to uncover alternatives for effective cleaning.

MY research topic • My research topic is on what kinds of food substitutes are there in a common house to dishwashing detergent. It is also to test if fizzy drinks like Pepsi and Sprite have cleaning properties. • I chose this topic because I love drinking fizzy drinks and I came across the rumor that coke had cleaning properties.
Foods tested • Coke (Phosphoric acid) • Pepsi (Phosphoric acid) • Sprite (Citric Acid) • Lemon (Citric Acid) • Vinegar (Acetic acid/Ethanoic Acid) • Detergent (for comparison)
How I will conduct the experient • I will first use tupperware and disposable packaging for this experiment. • I will then rub grease onto the containers • I will have two categories under “soak” and “scrub”. I will put the containers I will use in ‘soak’ in some of the tested liquid and wait for a week. I will pour some of the liquid on the container used and scrub it. • I will then measure the amount of grease left
Aim of research • I hope to test the rumor that the phosphoric acid in coke has cleaning properties and at the same time find out if there are any substitutes for detergent (maybe even find something that cleans better).
