10 unusual uses for Vodka


VODKA CAN SOOTHE A TOOTHACHE
Swishing a shot of vodka over your toothache can help disinfect and numb some of the pain in your gums.
Realistically, drink enough of it in the first place and I’m sure you’ll forget about most of the pain anyway.
Nevertheless, give this a shot next time you get a toothache. Let me know how it goes.

VODKA CAN HELP JELLYFISH STINGS

Vodka can disinfect and alleviate some of the pain from a jellyfish sting.
So, next time someone you know gets stung by a jellyfish at your next beach outing, don’t try to pee on him or her.
Run to the liquor store and get some vodka. Pick up some whiskey while you’re there! ;)
It’s worth noting that there are many types of jellyfish and that their stings may yield different levels of severity.
If it’s really bad, go to the hospital.

VODKA CAN REPEL INSECTS
Nobody likes hot, muggy summer days. Part of this is because of the heat. The other part is because of the bugs!
If you find yourself without any bug spray, but do happen to have some vodka on hand, remember Vodka can repel insects.
Pour some in a spray bottle and relax in the comfort of your own yard without having to worry about being eaten alive by tiny
six-legged freaks. Plus, vodka doesn’t contain any DEET, which has been a topic of conversation in the media regarding it’s safety.

VODKA CAN TREAT POISON IVY
The vodka has to be at least 100 proof to work. Just immediately pour it on..

VODKA CAN FRESHEN LAUNDRY
Apparently, vodka was essentially the first Febreeze.
Spraying your clothes with vodka and hanging them to dry in well-ventilated areas can keep your clothes smelling fresh.
Evidently, vodka has the ability to kill odor-causing bacteria, but doesn’t leave a scent when it finally dries.
How amazing is that?! I hate doing laundry…

VODKA CAN SHINE YOUR FIXTURES
Does your shower faucet look awful? How about your kitchen sink? .
Applying vodka to a cloth and getting to work on those faucets will have them shining  in no time.
This seems to work on chrome, glass and porcelain fixtures, so it acts as a pretty well rounded cleaning solution.

VODKA CAN CLEAR AWAY MOLD
Instead of harsh chemical sprays, fill an old spray bottle with some vodka.
Spray it on the mold, let it sit for 15 minutes and then scrub it away.
Cleaning the mold from your home will give you more quality air.
Clean it with vodka and you’ll have more quality air and a possible buzz.

VODKA CAN PRESERVE FLOWERS
Simply add a few drops of vodka and a teaspoon of sugar to the water in your flower vase, changing the mixture every day or two,
and your flowers will last a whole lot longer.

VODKA CAN MAKE YOUR HAIR SHINIER
Add a bit of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo, shake it up and enjoy. Vodka has the ability to make your hair healthier and more lush.

VODKA CAN MAKE A SOOTHING LAVENDER TINCTURE
Lavender is known for it’s soothing capabilities.
If you have aches and pains after a long day at work, it may be worth it to give this a try.
Fill a glass jar filled with fresh lavender flowers and then top it off with vodka.
Seal the lid and place it in the sun for three days.
When you’re done, strain the liquid through a coffee filter and you have homemade lavender tincture.
Rub it on your aches and pains.
