VODKA–IT’S NOT JUST FOR DRINKING

VODKA – IT’S NOT JUST FOR DRINKING –Vodka is a great cleaner because it is so high in pure alcohol content. No need to drag out the Grey Goose, use the cheap stuff!

Cleaning Caulking

Fill a spray bottle with inexpensive vodka. Spray on mold and mildew caulking in your shower, around your sink anywhere that you have caulk and mold. Let the vodka sit there for about 15 minutes or so and then scrub with a toothbrush if necessary. Otherwise you can just wipe the caulk gently with a microfiber or sponge.

Jewelry

Put some vodka in a glass or bowl to hold the pieces you want to clean. If there is heavy soiling use an old toothbrush to loosen and then swish again and dry with a soft cloth.

Upset Stomach Accidents

Sick kids, dogs or you? Start by removing any solid items and then spray on some vodka, let it sit for a few minutes and blot with a paper towel, or a microfiber cloth. It’s important to NOT scrub, just blot, scrubbing will actually make it worse and ruin the tuft of your carpet. Continue to clean with the vodka until you are satisfied, be sure not to over saturate, that just pushes the stuff under the carpet and when it dries it will come back up. Remove an excess liquid and use a fan to dry the area quickly. Not only does vodka help to clean the carpet but it also can remove odor. Be sure to test in an inconspicuous area first.

Eyeglasses

If you want to get a sparkling shine on eyeglasses that don’t have a protective coating, spritz with vodka and buff with a soft cloth. Do not use coated lenses or those that suggest that you avoid alcohol based products.

Insects

Because of it’s high alcohol content, vodka is a potent insect killer. Put in a spray bottle and send bugs on their drunken way.

Cleaning Grout

Clean grout by spraying with undiluted vodka. Let sit for 15 minutes and then re-spray and use a brush to scrub, rinse and you’re done.

Make your own all-purpose cleaner using 50% vodka and 50% water. Want it to smell good too? Add some of your favorite essential oil.
