12 Things to Do With Club Soda
Club soda can be used for cleaning, to help shuck and oyster and more.
From "Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary Things"
Make pancakes and waffles fluffier
If you like your pancakes and waffles on the fluffy side, substitute club soda for the liquid called for in the recipes. You'll be amazed at how light and fluffy your breakfast treats turn out.
Give your plants a mineral bath
Don't throw out that leftover club soda. Use it to water your indoor and outdoor 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.
Remove fabric stains
Clean grease stains from double-knit fabrics. Pour club soda on the stain and scrub gently. Scrub more vigorously to remove stains on carpets or less delicate articles of clothing.
Help shuck oysters
If you love oysters but find shucking them to be a near-impossible chore, try soaking them in club soda before you shuck. The oysters won't exactly jump out of their shells, but they will be much easier to open.
Clean precious gems
Soak your diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds in club soda to give them a bright sheen. Simply place them in a glass full of club soda and let them soak overnight.
Clean your car windshield
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.
Restore hair color
If your blond hair turns green when you swim in a pool with too much chlorine, don't panic. Rinse your hair with club soda and it will change back to its original color.
Tame your tummy
Cold club soda with a dash of bitters will work wonders on an upset stomach caused by indigestion or a hangover.
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.
Remove rust
To loosen rusty nuts and bolts, pour some club soda over them. The carbonation helps to bubble the rust away.
Eliminate urine stains
Did someone have an accident? After blotting up as much urine as possible, pour club soda over the stained area and immediately blot again. The club soda will get rid of the stain and help reduce the foul smell.
Ease cast-iron cleanup
Food tastes delicious when it's cooked in cast iron, but cleaning those heavy pots and pans with the sticky mess inside is no fun at all. 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.

Hello All !
We left Sunday without a hitch , Wish I could say that about Bob's daughter Karen and her husband MIke , What should have been a 2 hour flight from North Florida turned into 8 and THAT's why we cruise out of New York ..anyway , the first night out was a bit ROCKY ( which personally I love ) we had 12-14 ft. waves and huge wind gusts , guess it was part of that rain storm you all had from Monday but we a great Captain and crew at the helm we got thru with flying colors ...made for GREAT sleeping though ..MOnday was much of the same we were at sea all day but you could hardly feel it in the casino ( Ha Ha ) .Tuesday was better , we laid in the sun all day , still windy but warm ....
Today is Wed and we are in Old San Juan , docked at 3 and we will be leaving at midnight what a beautiful place ...It has more than 400 hundred carefully restored 16th and 17th century Spanish Colonial buildings which has to be seen to be appreciated...not much to report today Tommorow is St Thomas ..so until then
Adios !!
Marianne and Bob
P.S. Hope Kevin and Ryan are keeping you entertained !!
Love to all
