If you thought Club Soda was just a mixer for fancy drinks, you thought wrong! The bottle may be small but it has some great powers and you can buy it on the cheap anywhere.
Check out the extraordinary powers of this week’s Spring Cleaning for Less agent:
Say Goodbye to Stains!
You can clean grease stains from double-knit fabrics by pouring club soda on the stain and scrubbing gently. You’ll have to scrub more vigorously to remove stains on carpets. Since there are no bleaching agents in it, you don’t run any risk of discoloring your clothing.
Clean Your Windshield!
Do you always find that one spot in a parking lot where birds love to drop? Keep a spray bottle filled with club soda in the trunk of your car. Use it to help remove bird droppings and greasy stains from the windshield. The fizzy water speeds the cleaning process.
Remove Rust!
To loosen rusty nuts and bolts, pour some club soda over them. The carbonation helps to bubble the rust away. This also works anywhere you have rust. It won’t eliminate it but you’ll have an easier time cleaning it.
Clean Countertops and Fixtures!
Pour club soda directly on stainless steel countertops, ranges and sinks. Wipe with a soft cloth, rinse with warm water and wipe dry. To clean porcelain fixtures, simply pour club soda over them and wipe with a soft cloth. There’s no need for soap or rinsing and the soda will not mar the finish. Give the inside of your refrigerator a good cleaning with a weak solution of club soda and a little bit of salt.
Cast-Iron Cleanup!
We love cooking things in a skillet. I think food tastes better when it’s cooked in cast-iron, but cleaning those heavy pots and pans with the sticky mess inside can be a nightmare! You can make the cleanup a lot easier by pouring some club soda in the pan while it’s still warm. The bubbly soda will keep the mess from sticking.
