Though we might have trouble convincing some of our friends of this fact, vodka has many more uses than meets the eye.  The Daily Green has given us good reason to take a second look at vodka and some weird household uses, stating

Why would you want to do anything else with vodka but drink it? It is widely available, effective and less toxic than many of the chemical alternatives you might use for these tasks.

Some of our favorites:

Freshen up your clothes with a spritz of Smirnoff: spray some vodka on your clothes when your jeans are about to walk away on their own, but you aren’t ready to hit the laundromat yet!

Shine up that bathroom with some Absolut: pour some vodka on a cloth and rub it on your porcelain, chrome, and glass. Then spray it on the moldy caulking around your tub.

Other uses include treatment for poison ivy and jellyfish stings, insect killer & repellant, and even toothache relief (but no more excuses, just go see a dentist!!)

Of course, any vodka will do…not just brand names, though some say you’ll need 100 proof to get the job done. There is, however, a greener vodka. Organic vodkas are becoming more and more popular, and now there are dozens of brands to choose from.
