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

Jellyfish sting

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

Stinkyfeet

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!
