Who knew vodka can be used for lots of stuff other than getting sloshed? Well, I didn’t. Vodka is the new vinegar! You heard it here first.

Actually, I heard it from Retro Renovation. Someone wanted to get the smell of cat urine out of a vintage sofa and everyone was recommending vodka.

So, I did a search and sure enough, vodka does it all!

1. Mix with water and spray on stinky clothes, rugs or upholstery.

2. Dab it on poison ivy undiluted.

3. Insect repellent

4. Mix with shampoo for oh-so-shiny hair.

5. Spray on mold as you would bleach.

6. Polish chrome, porcelain, jewelry and cutlery.

Ok, that was just 6, but I bet there are 95 vodka drinks I could come up with if I had the time.
