I went to the store today to get some Club Soda (to clean a red wine carpet stain) and guess what - the only brands available were low-sodium. They've taken the soda (sodium) out of club soda and replaced it with potassium bicarbonate & potassium citrate. Its like the beverage equivalent of fat-free greek yogurt; what is this world coming to?
I guess I'll have to find some old-fashioned washing soda that is not designed for human consumption to get the magical pet-friendly stain-removing power I was looking for.
This really bums me out because I also like to use club soda to make Mg-rich "Waller Water" but the reaction doesn't work properly with this low-sodium Club Potash - it leaves a lot of undissolved crystals, whereas the chemical reaction leaves no residue when real Club Soda is used.
