1) Clothing refresher
Don’t have time to wash that shirt? Fill a spray bottle with cheap vodka and spritz on the garment. The alcohol kills odor-causing bacteria and dries quickly. Voila!
2) Remove a bandage
Not brave enough to just rip off that bandage? Dab the bandage with vodka for easy, painless removal. Plus it won’t leave any of that sticky residue on your skin! (Make sure the wound is completely healed first.)
3) Clean tiles and caulking
Fill a spray bottle with vodka and spray tile and caulking. Let it sit for five to 10 minutes, then wipe clean. The alcohol will kill mold and mildew.
4) Spotless glasses cleaner
Wipe glasses with a clean cloth or newsprint dampened with a small amount of vodka. The alcohol cleans the glass and kills germs.
5) Treat bad breath
Don’t have time to brush? Steep cloves in vodka then swish for an effective mouthwash.
6) Astringent
For a quick astringent, lightly dampen a cotton ball with vodka. Dab on your face to cleanse the skin and minimize pores.
7) Razor care
Keep your razor from rusting as quickly by setting the blade in a cup of vodka after shaving. The alcohol also kills bacteria on the blade.
8) Keep flowers fresh
Combine vodka, sugar and water to give your flowers a longer life.
9) Remove foot odor
Soak your tootsies in vodka for a few minutes to eliminate bacteria that cause odors. Or, try this grapefruit-vodka foot treatment.
