Few people known the amazing capabilities of the club soda or are familiar with the numerous application that the fizzy water has. For most of us the club soda is simply a refreshing tasteless carbonated drink that we consume during summer afternoons to cool down a bit. However, the carbonated water, as it's also known, has many versatile uses and properties that range from cleaning to medical remedies and everything in between.


Cooking

Do you know the traditional recipe that your grandmother was using to prepare the dough for the pancakes she cooked for you? Probably not. Most people these days would rather purchase a ready-to-use substance to make pancakes instead of making their own. Still, if you want to try and make a pancake dough yourself here is the ingredients for the original recipe:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 50 grams butter
  • 200 ml milk or alternatively club soda.

Cleaning

The carbonated water does extremely good job against different stains and it's one of the most popular household cleaning solutions just as baking soda and vinager. But there is even more you can use club soda to clean other things besides stains. Here are few useful cleaning tricks you can do with the fizzy liquid you had no idea about:

Remove Urine Stains - if there is a fresh urine stain on the carpet you could easily get it out simply by blotting as much of the urine with a cloth and then pouring club soda over the spot where the stain is and this time blotting the club soda.

Cleaning the Car Windshield - even a light rain can make the front windshield and rest of the windows of the car look as they were never cleaned before. However, there is one very efficient remedy to restore the car windshield to its former glory. Simply pour club soda in a spray bottle and whenever you have to spray the car's glass windows or the headlights of the car, for that matter, and wipe them down with a cloth to make the windshield crystal clear again.

Get Countertops and Fixtures Cleaned - if you want to get stainless steel countertops and fixtures cleaned quickly, then pour club soda over them and then rinse them with warm water afterwards, finally wipe dry the stainless steel surfaces. The same solution can be used for porcelain surfaces as well but instead of rinsing them with warm water you should gently wipe them dry with soft cloth.

Remove Rust - the expert cleaners from post construction cleaning London sometimes use this simple tip. If there are rust stains left on the hard surfaces in your home or if they want to loosen rusty bolts and nuts, then they pour carbonated water over the stain or bolts. Apply a bit of elbow grease will make the rust come right off.

Health Remedy


Besides being a refreshing drink the club soda can serve as a medicine in few instances. For example, if you have an upset stomach then there is no need to to stuff yourself with drugs, but instead have a large glass of carbonated water with a dash of bitters. That should do the trick if you want to relieve yourself from any stomach aches and pains.

The club soda has many versatile uses and applications other than being a fizzy refreshing drink. The carbonated water can be used from cleaning to cooking and everything in between.
