CHEAP VODKA USES
Added on: 7th Apr 2016
KEEPS YOUR PLANTS ALIVE LONGER
So we’re not suggesting you dump bottles of vodka on your
garden, but if you’ve been given some flowers, vodka can help
extend their lives. Add a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of
vodka to the water in your flower vase to keep flowers
looking bright for longer.
KILLS WEEDS
Remember when we said not to pour vodka on your garden?
Well, it’s true you should keep vodka away from your
tomatoes and carrots, but if you’re looking to take down some
weeds without adding chemical herbicides, mix vodka with
water and a few drops of dishwashing liquid.
Spray liberally onto the pesky weeds.
CLEANS HOUSEHOLD FIXTURES
Forget about expensive home cleaners – cheap vodka can easily
be used for cleaning fixtures, too. Spray a small towel with
vodka and rub over any glass, chrome, or porcelain items
in your house to lift off grime and dirt.
KILLS MOULD
If you’re cleaning the bathroom fixtures with vodka and find some
mould or other dark stains in the corners of the shower, spray on
some vodka and let sit for 15 minutes. Put in a bit of
elbow grease to scrub the area clean.
CURES JELLYFISH STINGS
It’s a popular conception that urinating on a jellyfish sting will
ease the pain and kill the toxin, but urine isn’t as effective
(or clean) as vodka. Pouring vodka over a jellyfish sting
can take the pain out of affected area.
SMELLY TRAINERS
To freshen up stinky shoes, spritz vodka into them to cut the
odour. To take care of your own feet, add some vodka to the
water of your foot soak to penetrate deep and cut out
the nasty odours.
REMOVES STICKER GLUE
The residue left by stickers on glass bottles or anywhere else
attracts all kinds of grime. Lift the adhesive off with ease by
rubbing a vodka-soaked cloth over the area. The same method
works great on stovetop grime and for removing adhesive
bandages without pain (though if the cut is still open,
it will sting like hell).
FRESHENS YOUR BREATH
Sorry, we’re not at a use where you can’t drink it (yet).
This home remedy with vodka involves using it as a
mouthwash. Add a few drops of pure cinnamon, spearmint,
or tea tree oil to a small amount of vodka and leave it to
infuse for at least 14 days. (Or do as the Myth busters did on
their show and add 9 tablespoons of powdered cinnamon
to 1 cup of vodka.) If the mixture is too pungent, cut down
the alcohol level with some water; and don’t swallow it
after swishing!
