SOME HOUSEHOLD USES FOR A VODKA

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).

BADGES


SIDE THOUGHTS

  • Overcoming fights starts with forgiveness. All of us have faults and all of us hurt others sometimes. This is human, and holding grudges only hurts the one who holds it.

  • Jesus apparition on a frying pan.  Recently, Toby Elles from Lancaster, England and a 22-year-old brilliantly left the stove on after he was done cooking and after he took a quick boozey-snoozey, he realized his error and rushed to the stove.  Lo and behold, there was Jesus Christ, looking back at him with burnt eye of grease from the frying pan.

  • Love isn’t a fairytale, it isn’t perfect, and it doesn’t always come easy. But it is something that we should hold on to for the rest of our lives, because it’s the only thing that’s worth fighting for.

  • Hero: someone we admire. Someone we look up to. Someone who gives us hope. Not a myth, or an icon, or a legend- someone solid, genuine and real. An ordinary person who does extraordinary things. A hero picks us up when we are down. Believes in us before we believe in ourselves. Inspires us to expand and embrace what’s possible. Helps us realize that we can be heroes, too - Kobi Yamada

  • Devil’s Pool - a small lagoon, enclosed by rocks, on the edge of one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls. Set on Livingstone Island, at a height of 103 meters, Devil’s Pool is definitely one of the most surreal locations on Earth
