I came across these interesting little tidbits of household helpful hints and thought I'd share them with you. Most people agree that vodka doesn't have a smell or taste. However, to me it smells and tastes like rubbing alcohol. Therefore, I find these uses for vodka far more viable than drinking it. :)
Remove a Band-Aid
If you've got
a Band-Aid you want to remove without the pain of ripping it off, dab some
vodka over the adhesive part so that it comes off with more ease. This method
also works with stickers.
Treat Poison Ivy
If you think
your skin has come into contact with poison ivy, pour vodka over the affected
area immediately. Some say the stronger the alcohol, the better. Rubbing
alcohol can also be used.
Freshen Laundry
Spritz some
vodka on your clothes to freshen them up. Vodka kills odor-causing bacteria and
dries with no smell. Be sure to keep the clothing in a well-ventilated area.
Ease a Toothache
Got a
toothache? You should go to the dentist, but until then swish some vodka in
your mouth. It will help disinfect the affected area and also numb the pain a
little.
Insect Repellent
Pour some
vodka into a spray bottle to repel pesky insects. Spray near you or on you, but
avoid the eyes!
Keep Flowers Fresh
Mix vodka with
a spoonful of sugar or baking soda with water to keep your flowers fresher in
the vase for longer.
Tame Frizzy Hair
Mix some vodka
into your hair conditioner to tame any frizzy hair and make it shinier. It also
might help reduce flakes.
Window Washing
Instead of
buying that blue stuff, use vodka to clean your windows. Just mix some cheap,
high-proof vodka with water and spray away.
Treat Jellyfish Sting
Stung by a
jellyfish? Pour some vodka on it ASAP to disinfect it and calm some of the
sting.
