USES FOR INEXPENSIVE VODKA

Added on: 26th Jun 2016

 

ELIMINATES THE SMELL OF CIGARETTES

Working like a homemade Febreze, add one tablespoon of

vodka to three tablespoon of water and spritz it onto your

furniture or anywhere else you want to remove a cigarette

smell. It also works on clothes.

 

 

CLEANS WINDOWS AND MIRRORS

To remove hairspray residue on mirrors or to clear streaks off

windows, put away the harsh chemicals and spray the area with

watered-down vodka then just wipe it down. You can use it on your

eyeglasses as well, though check with your provider to

make sure it won’t remove any added films.

 

 

EASES ACHES & PAINS

Though vodka can generally ease aches and pains if ingested,

here’s another unusual homemade use for vodka that doesn’t

involve drinking it. Add fresh lavender flowers and vodka into

a glass jar and put it out in the sun for three days (longer if

you live in a cloudy place) to extract the oils and goodness.

Strain the mixture and rub it onto any aches or pains you have.

 

 

SOOTHES A TOOTHACHE

Finally! A method that involves actually drinking the vodka.

To ease a toothache, swirl a shot of vodka around your mouth,

especially around the painful area, to disinfect it and numb

some of the pain. You can even swallow the shot afterwards.

 

 

MAKES DIY EXTRACTS

Store bought extracts, whether they’re lemon, almond, or vanilla,

are pretty pricey. Take more control over your cooking

(and wallet) by making your own extracts at home with this

unusual vodka use. Take whatever item you’re looking to

extract the essence from, oranges or mint, for example and

seal them in a Mason jar with vodka for a week or more.

Since you’ll be tasting the vodka indirectly, you may want to

use a little nicer vodka than the cheapest on hand!

 

 

TREATS DANDRUFF

For a natural way to take care of dandruff, crush a tablespoon of

dried rosemary to release the oils then add it to a cup of vodka

for a few days. Strain the liquid and rub it onto your scalp but

don’t wash it off, let the mixture dry for maximum effect.

 

 

REMOVES RED WINE AND STAINS

So you’ve just had that party and red wine (or any other tinted

substance) was spilled on your new carpet or couch. Turn to

that open bottle of vodka for help! To remove ink, red wine and

some food stains from formerly pristine possessions, use a

vodka-soaked cloth to dab the area. Lightly dab with a

dry towel after a few minutes to lift the stain.

 

 

RELAXES MUSCLES

If your muscles are tense and sore after a long session at the

gym or after running a marathon, add equal parts vodka

and water into a zip-top bag and freeze it. The vodka will

prevent the mixture from freezing entirely, making it more like

a slushy which is better suited as an ice pack on aching

muscles. What unusual ways do you use vodka in

your own home?
