Do you have any club soda? My answer to that question used to be “No”, that is until I learned all of the amazing things that this bubbly mineral water can do. 

Most people think of it as a mixer used in cocktails or as a remedy for an upset stomach, but it can do so much more than that. This inexpensive beverage can cure hangovers, remove rust, clean hair and help plants to grow. However, cleaning is what it does best. I like to mix it with a little vinegar and use it to clean my stainless steel appliances, it works better than any commercial cleaner I’ve ever used and it costs a lot less. Here are some other ways it can be used for cleaning…

Cleaning with Club Soda

Windshield
For dirty windshields, use club soda instead of glass cleaner to get them clean. There’s something about the carbonation that works really well to cut through stubborn dirt.

    Does the club soda have to still have its carbonation, or is it still effective to us it flat?
