Now where did I put that bottle of Vodka?

Who knew! While it may make a wonderful cocktail, Vodka can also be used to aid in household chores. Now I would have never thought of this but the January issue of  This Old House  has 10 "additional" uses for it. Well, why not ....so here they are:
1. Erase window streaks.
 Spray glass panels with diluted vodka, then wipe down with a lint-free cloth.

2.Shine chrome.
 Put an end to soap scum and hard-water spots by soaking a soft cloth in vodka and wiping it over shiny fixtures.

3. Deodorize laundry.
 Spritz undiluted vodka on clothes to help remove musty smells, then hang-dry them in a well-ventilated area.

4. Remove rust from screws.
 Leave a weathered screw in vodka for just a few hours, then wipe to get rid of rust.

5.Preserve cut flowers.
 Save your bouquet by mixing a few drops of vodka with a teaspoon of sugar to inhibit the production of ethylene, which makes flowers wilt.

6. Remove stains from upholstery.
 Dip a clean cloth in vodka and rub it on fabric to help take out stubborn stains caused by ink, grass, and some foods.

7. Kill weeds.
Mix 1 ounce of vodka, a few drops of liquid dish soap and 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. Apply on a sunny day to broad leaf weeds.

8. Clean mold and mildew.
 Rid tile and caulk of dark spots by spraying them with vodka. Let sit for up to 30 minutes, scrub with grout brush or old toothbrush and rinse.

9. Soothe aching muscles.
 Treat sore muscles with a pack made by pouring equal parts of vodka and water into a resealable bag and freezing it to create a super-cold slushy mix.

10. Stop odors.
Smelly boots. Spritz the insides with diluted vodka, let dry. No more odor.

Ok...got it......now I need a drink.
