7 ways to use vodka around the house
Learn seven household uses for vodka, from removing upholstery odors and soap residue to cleaning glass, mirrors, and chandeliers.
These seven ways to use vodka around the house show that a bottle from your home bar can also come in handy for cleaning. A one-to-one mixture of vodka and water helps remove cigarette odors from upholstery, while straight vodka polishes glass and mirrors. This article also includes tips for shoe odors, soap residue, and cleaning chandeliers.
1Removing cigarette odors and stains
Mix vodka and water in a 50:50 ratio to make a spray. Use it to remove cigarette odors from car seats and stains from upholstered furniture. The vodka's smell will disappear completely after a little while.
2Cleaning glass
Clean glass and mirrors with vodka to leave them as shiny as they would be with regular cleaning products.
3Protecting plants from pests
Soak a cotton pad in vodka and wipe it over the surface of pest-infested plants.
4Polishing the bathroom
After cleaning the bathroom, give it a final wipe with a cloth dampened with vodka. No additional product is needed to make it shine.
5Cleaning glass chandeliers
For glass chandeliers that are difficult to clean, prepare a mixture of 0.5 l water and 3–4 tbsp vodka. Spray the chandelier with the mixture and spread rags underneath to catch the drips. This also removes accumulated dust.
6Removing soap residue
Use vodka to easily remove soap residue, too. Spray the area, let it sit briefly, then wipe it clean.
7Tackling shoe odors
Vodka also helps combat unpleasant shoe odors. Spray the shoes with vodka and let them dry.
