5. Shine Your Fixtures
Use vodka to clean your chrome or porcelain fixtures. Just apply directly onto a piece of cloth and scrub to get things shining again!
6. Poison Ivy
One of the biggest joy killers while being in the great outdoors is coming in contact with poison ivy, oak or sumac.
To avoid a nasty, long-lasting rash, immediately pour vodka on the afflicted area. The alcohol content in the vodka will help wash away the urushiol oil that’s responsible for the itchy sensation.
7. Soothe Jellyfish Stings
Vodka can also help alleviate any uncomfortable reaction that stems from a jellyfish sting. Just pour vodka on the wound and it will have a soothing effect after some 10-20 minutes.
8. Clean Away Mold
Mold can spread easily and can negatively impact indoor air quality. As long as your mold problem hasn’t gotten out of hand, spray some vodka on moldy spots and let sit for 15 minutes. Then use an old toothbrush and scrub away.
9. Ease a Toothache
When you have a terrible toothache, your first priority should be to set up an appointment with a dentist. However, if you can’t get to a dentist right away, you can always try swishing a shot of vodka over the affected tooth. It can help kill bad bacteria, and numb some of the pain in your gums. Clove oil is also another alternative if you have some at home!
10. Keep your razor sharp
Razors become dull because small debris of hair, water and shaving cream are left on the blades after each use. To prolong the life of your razors, clean it properly and let it soak in a glass of vodka. This will prevent the blades from being eaten up by acid or rust.
11. Remove sticker goo
There’s something oddly satisfying about peeling off a price tag in one motion. But when that doesn’t happen and you’re left with unwanted residue, simply scrub the leftovers with some vodka for a smooth surface.
12. Disinfect Your Rugs and Mattresses
Your rugs see a lot of foot traffic each day. And if you have pets in the house, your rugs are probably filled with all kinds of dirt and germs. A simple way of keeping your rugs fresh is to spray vodka on them, killing any foul order and disinfecting them. This trick will also work for your mattress.
