for cleaning stains –

  • Carpet stains:  spray club soda on stain, blot, repeat.
  • Grease stains:  pour club soda on stain, scrub.
  • Urine stains:  first, blot up as much urine as possible.  Next,  pour club soda over the stain.  Blot again.

for your garden –

  • Got old or leftover club soda and don’t know what to do with it?  Pour it on your plants!  The minerals in the soda water help green plants grow. For maximum benefit, try to water your plants with club soda about once a week.  Club soda is safe to use on both indoor and outdoor plants.
