We know, cleaning or housekeeping probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when we think about Vodka but surprisingly, it can serve as an all-purpose cleaner! Whether you want to deodorize your clothes and shoes or clean your windows, Vodka can do it all!
So, what are you waiting for? Take a look at these easy cleaning hacks you can do using Vodka!
Clean Your Windows
Out of your commercial, chemical-laden window cleaner? Don’t worry, you can try this DIY solution instead!
We know it is not easy to clean windows or glassware without leaving behind streaks or water marks. However, vodka can not only banish those marks but can also add that extra sparkle to your shiny surfaces.
For this, take 1 cup of Vodka and add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to it. Then, add 2 cups of plain water. Mix the ingredients well and pour the solution into a spray bottle.
Now, all you have to do is to spritz the solution on windows, glass doors, and other shiny surfaces, and wipe off the solution with a dry microfiber cloth. As the solution is mostly comprised of alcohol, it will evaporate quickly, leaving your shiny surfaces streak-free, and will also remove any smudges.
Refresh Your Smelly Clothing
If your clothes are beginning to smell a little musty - whether it is the odour of cigarette smoke or sweat because of your workout, we have an easy solution that will not only remove the awful smell but also save you some money!
To neutralize strong odours, you just need to add half a cup of vodka to your washing machine before running the cycle, it will surely save you a visit to the dry cleaner.
Also, if you don’t have time to wash the clothes, then you can deodorize them. For this, you need to mix 1 cup of Vodka with 2 cups of water. Pour them into a spray bottle and freshen up your wardrobe by spraying the solution.
