This spirit has been enjoyed since the Middle Ages and is considered as one of the most popular drinks world over! Yes, we are talking about vodka. And did you know? Vodka is not just used as a drink, but also as home remedy. Keep reading, and we'll tell you all about how vodka is used for a whole of things – from getting rid of the stink in your feet to using it as an astringent to cleanse your face!
Smell fresh with vodka!
If you like wearing fresh smelling clothes every morning, but detest the laundry, try this – just spray some vodka on your clothes (to be on the safe side, do a spot test on your dress) and hang them near your window or a place that has good ventilation. What vodka does is that it kills the bacteria that causes odour and does not leave a scent once dry.
Get rid of stinky feet
A lot of people have this problem – smelly feet. There is an easy way to get rid of it. Pour a few drops of vodka on your feet and rub it into your skin and ta da, the stink is gone!
Cleanse your skin
Make your own cleanser if you don’t like the store-bought one. Mix one portion of vodka with two portions of water, dip a cotton ball into the mixture and cleanse your face. It acts like an astringent and not just cleanses your face but also opens up the pores leaving you with clean, glowing skin.
Keep your flowers fresh
If you love fresh flowers then this tip is for you – you can keep your flowers fresh for a longer time by adding a few drops of vodka and a teaspoon of sugar to your vase. Don’t forget to change the mixture every day.
Dissolves glue instantly
Afraid to remove the adhesive plaster from the wound? We know how painful that is – so here is a trick – pour a few drops of vodka on the plaster and leave it for about two minutes. Vodka will dissolve the adhesive, and you can easily peel it off.
Keeps your breath fresh
If you think that the mouthwash available in the market are too strong for you or you just don’t like the way it tastes you can make your own with some vodka. Mix nine tablespoons of cinnamon with one cup of vodka and one cup of water. Pour this mixture into an airtight container and let it sit for two weeks. Make sure to shake it twice a day. At the end of two weeks, strain the liquid and its ready to use. Add one teaspoon of vodka mouthwash to one glass of warm water and rinse your mouth for a super fresh breath!
Rejuvenates your fixtures
Bring back your fixtures to life – be it chrome, porcelain or glass. Just spray some vodka on them, leave it for a few minutes, scrub with an old toothbrush and soon you’ll have them shining bright!
