Vodka is one of the most popular drinks around the world, owing to its neutral smell and the fact that it mixes well with tons of other alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages. This post is not a ‘Go drink Vodka’ post. There are many different uses for vodka that you might not be aware of? We’re not talking about different ways to mix cocktails with it, but actual useful ways in which it can help you around the home.
Following
are the 10 legitimate ways to use vodka that go beyond mere consumption.
Treat a toothache
When you start having a toothache, pour SOME vodka
on a small cotton ball and put it on the gums above the sore tooth. After a
while it should begin alleviating some of the pain.
Hair rinse
Give your hair a shot of Vodka!.Vodka can help de-frizz hair and make locks shiny, healthy and dandruff free. Mix a shot glass of vodka with a glass
of water and use it to rinse out your hair after washing it using your normal
shampoo and conditioner. Mixing in a bit of vodka with your hair conditioner
will result in a mixture with a lower ph value, which will help keep your
hair frizz-free and shiny if you apply it once a week.
Use it as a mouthwash
Vodka is quite neutral tasting, but it is also a
great disinfectant and good for killing odors. You can combine vodka with some
water to create a refreshing mouthwash. Let it rest for a week before you
use it.
Ice pack
Mixing a glass of vodka with the water that you
pour into a freezer bag will lower the entire concoctions freezing temperature,
leaving you with a very cold “ice pack” that is flexible and can be moulded to
fit the body.
Repel bugs
Vodka is actually an effective bug repellent. You
just pour some
vodka into a spray bottle, add a bit of
lavender essential oil to give it a nice scent, and then spray it all over your
body.
Preserve flowers and
Jewellery
If
vodka can help you find love then it can also help you preserve it – or atleast
symbols of it. Add a few drops of Vodka and a teaspoon of sugar to the water in
the vase. It should keep your flowers fresh longer. Change out the mixture with
fresh ingredients daily.
If
your jewels are looking dingy, try soaking them in vodka for five minutes, and
then rinsing them with water.
Cure smelly armpits and
feet
A dab of vodka under the armpits or a few
squirts of it from a spray bottle on the feet will be enough to kill the bad
odors and make you feel fresh. it can also be applied to your gym sneakers to
neutralize odours.
Aftershave
The key ingredient in most aftershaves is
actually alcohol – it is what is used to disinfect the face and soothe it,
preventing inflammation. Vodka has a good balance when it comes to alcohol
content and will work wonders for your face.
Clean razor
The main reason why razors become dull so
quickly is because small amounts of hair, water and shaving cream are left on
the blades after each use. If you clean the blade properly and leave it to soak
in a glass of vodka, it won’t be eaten up by acid or rust and will be
completely disinfected for your next use.
Clothes
The problem with dark clothes is that the colour
will fade in time, and the discolouration might happen in some places and not in
others. To help protect your clothes from this, you’ll only need to spray some
vodka on them. You won’t smell like a bar, as the smell evaporates quickly. You
can add some lavender or some other essential oil to make the clothes smell
great as well.
Hail VODKA!
Cheers!!
