SOME HOUSEHOLD USES FOR A VODKA

Posted by: baterya In: LIFE

Vodka and is one of the world’s most popular distilled beverages. It is a clear liquid containing water and ethanol purified by distillation from a fermented substance such as potatoes, grain or sugar beet molasses, and an insignificant amount of other substances: impurities and possibly flavourings. Except for various types of flavourings, vodka is a colourless liquid.

Vodka consumed in sufficient amounts, can be lethal as can any alcoholic beverage, and can cause dehydration, digestive irritation and other symptoms associated with a hangover because these are inherent properties of ethanol.

But there are things vodka can be useful of rather than giving us hangover, they are as follows (pure vodka only)

Keep Aphids off houseplants. Wash off houseplants with tap water then dab the leaves with a cotton ball dipped in vodka. Do not use alcohol on delicate plants like African Violets.

Shine chrome, glass and porcelain bathroom fixtures. Soak a soft, clean cloth with vodka and shine.

Remove hairspray from mirrors. Soak a soft, clean cloth with vodka and wipe mirrors clean

Clean crystal and porcelain ornaments.

Clean the caulking around bathtubs and showers by filling a spray bottle with vodka, then spraying the caulking. Wait 5 minutes, then wash clean. Bonus: the alcohol in the vodka actually kills mold and mildew.

Clean a chandelier right where it hangs! Spray the chandelier with a solution of four teaspoons of vodka to one pint of water. Put down a cloth or plastic sheet to catch the drips

Remove stains by rubbing with a clean cloth soaked in vodka. Rinse thoroughly

Clean jewelry and cutlery. Soak it in vodka for five minutes, rinse and dry

Remove the glue left behind by stickers and labels. Rub the glue with a soft, clean cloth soaked in vodka.

To get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke, mix one part vodka to three parts water, spray and let dry.

Clean tiles in the bathroom by spraying with vodka. Leave it on for 5 minutes and rinse.

Great for getting rid of soap scum.

How does vodka do this?  Vodka usually has an alcohol content of 35% to 50% by volume. The classic Russian, Lithuanian and Polish vodka is 40% (80 proof).

SIDE THOUGHTS

  • “A polka-dot has the form of the sun, which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world and our living life, and also the form of the moon, which is calm. Round, soft, colourful, senseless and unknowing. Polka-dots can’t stay alone; like the communicative life of people, two or three polka-dots become movement… Polka-dots are a way to infinity.” ~ Yayoi Kusama

  • Mobile Phone runs on Coke -  Designer Daizi Zheng has designed an eco friendly phone for Nokia, which runs on Coca-Cola drinks. Yes, its fuel cells generates electricity from carbohydrates (sugar) in the Coke and it can run on any sugary water, not just Coke.

  • Our tumble dryer at home was not working since last week and we have to dry our clothes manually, meaning letting it dry under the sun but what if it is not a sunny day? It takes time without using a dryer, so I think we need to find a replacement soon and I think we need to find the Cheapest Tumble Dryer because we are on a tight budget.
