Vodka is known as a versatile beverage with which to make mixed drinks, but vodka also has a variety of uses for cleaning. Here are a few ways to use vodka to clean.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Use vodka to clean glass without leaving any streaks. Wet paper towels or even newspaper with vodka and use it to clean windows, glass table tops, eyeglasses, windshields, or any other glass.

  2. Step 2

    Spray vodka on your shower walls, shower curtain and bathtub. Vodka kills mold and mildew. Spray the areas and let it sit for about ten minutes prior to your regular cleaning and a lot less scrubbing will be required.

  3. Step 3

    Rub down any crystalline jewelry with vodka. It both cleans and polishes the jewelry.

  4. Step 4

    Remove those maddening remnants of price stickers with vodka. It dissolves weak adhesives, so you can easily scrape off the sticky leavings of any labels on your products. Vodka, for the same reason, can be poured over a Band-Aid for painless removal.

  5. Step 5

    Kill many odors in fabrics by misting vodka over them. This works particularly well on clothes and furniture that smell of cigarette smoke.
