When I saw this headline I just had to post it, this is just great!! Who woulda thunk???

Don't waste vodka on martinis

Vodka compliments more than a martini.

Use vodka to clean gold and gemstone jewelry. Soak your jewels in a dish of vodka and then scrub clean with a soft toothbrush. The vodka will dissolve grime and leave your rocks with a little bit more bling.

Vodka can also benefit your fresh cut flowers. Pour a tablespoon or so into the water in your vase, it will kill bacteria that can harm your plants and it will keep the water nice and clean.

Anytime you cut "bulb" flowers like tulips or irises, mix together three cups of water and a tablespoon of vodka.

The vodka will keep the stems of the flowers nice and firm so that you don't end up with slumped over blooms.

If you're having people over and you've run out of bathroom cleaner pour some vodka into a spray bottle. It will put a quick shine on chrome fixtures and mirrors and it will remove stains from bathtub caulk.

Those are simple and savvy uses for vodka.

I'm Mrs. Fixit and it's just that simple.

I simply can't give up good vodka for household use! :)

Waste my vodka on cleaning my house?? I can just see my mom coming into my bathroom and smelling the vodka I used to clean with. LOL You are putting out great tips...keep 'em coming!!

Wow,it does
seem to make sense on the cut flowers thing I am gonna give it a try!!! (Not My Grey Goose):) Judy

Teehee, you're welcome! Like I said, I just could not pass this one up...though I'm with you guys...unless if it is something like cheapy Gordon's (which my parents still buy, G-d only knows why!!) then I am NOT giving up my vodka! Could you imagine using a $25+ bottle of Kettle One on your furniture?? Seems very funny to me!! :p

Next time I'm in the liquor store I'll be sure to mumble something about housecleaning while checking out... :)

"Can I get a bottle of Grey Goose? Oh, and do you have any Windex?" :)
