Who knew that vodka was versatile?!?!?
I'm reading my January/February 2012 This Old House which idenfies these 10 additional (yes, additional) uses for vodka.
1. Erase window streaks - "dilute" doesn't state what to dilute with. I'm thinkin' cranberry juice? Orange juice? Or maybe, if you like it dirty, some olive juice? Just sayin'.
2. Shine chrome. Hello. Get out the sunglasses.
3. Deodorize laundry. With a vodka spritz. Gotta try that one just so I can say I've spritzed my laundry . . . with vodka.
4. Remove rust from screws. Hmmmm. Replacement screw is what 23 cents. Vodka is what . . . well, Grey Goose is a bit more expensive. I think I'll buy a replacement screw and save the vodka for . . . clothes spritzing, of course.
5. Preserve cut flowers. Add a few drops of vodka and a teaspoon of sugar and your flowers will last longer. Nice. I can look at the same flowers while I sip my cocktail containing vodka wearing my clothes spritzed in vodka while I look out my "oh, so clean" windows.
6. Remove stains from upholstery. Ink, grass, and some foods. Nice.
7. Kill weeds. Combine vodka, liquid dish soap, and H2O and spritz your broadleaf!
8. Clean mold and mildew. Now we're talking. I'll try to remember that in case I ever have mold or mildew. I always dry my shower after each use to avoid the nasties. Oh, don't start with my issues. I've got them. And, I have walls. Yes, I have walls . . .
9. Soothe aching muscles. After my next marathon . . . I can celebrate with vodka on my body and a beer in my hand.
10. Stop odors. Truth is, after enough vodka, who cares about foot odor. Really.
Go buy some vodka!! I think the cheaper stuff will do just fine for these "additional" uses.
Time for page 22. And, when I get done with page 114, I'm gettin' busy with vodka.
It also helps with earaches...Drop a couple drops in the afflicted ear. The vodka will evaporate, but before it does it will kill the bacteria.
