Club Soda is not something most people have on hand, but they really should. It’s inexpensive and can do so many things to make life easier around the house. Use in your beauty routine, for cooking and cleaning, outdoors, for your health and much more.
Club Soda – This WWII series is so much fun to do. I’m learning so much about the era, my family and some wonderful ways to save money. However, over the last couple of weeks it’s become harder to come up with topics, so if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.
This week my aunt suggested Club Soda. I don’t know about you but I have never used it. I’ve seen it on the shelves of the grocery store but never knew what to use it for. Of course, once I sent out the topic, my family schooled me in all of the different ways that it can be used.
Club Soda is mainly a carbonated water with added minerals. It’s the minerals in it that make it great for all of these household uses.

Thanks for all that great information! I'm always looking for natural cleaning ingredients!
Gotta try the up and down raisins!
This is such great information about all the uses for club soda. I knew a couple of the ideas but never imagined you could use it for so much. Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week; I hope you’ll join us again!

I found that if you mix baking soda and vinegar into a paste then put it on cookie sheets, pots and pans, stove burner catch, ect and let it sit. After 5-10 minutes take a sponge with the scratcher and start to work on the spots. Depending on how bad the stains are or how much burnt on food is stuck, you might need to put some elbow grease into it. After you rinse the paste off wash the dish like normal.
Enjoy 🙂
I love these ideas and especially the raisins because I think my little ones will love that.
My kids get a kick out of it, I’m sure yours will too!
No way!! This is so interesting! I can’t believe it can do all that. Pinning this great information!
