Will ABSOLUT work too ?
Yum! Now your home and select body parts can smell like vodka even if you don't consume a drop! BTW, very helpful information. Does it work with other brands or only Smirnoff?
The Kettel cost too much and Susan hogs It all so that Is out !
OMG and I've been drinking it all this time!! Well my insides must be real clean! :P
Great hub! I understand and won't mind anyone using the Vodka for health reasons, that's what its for... But cleaning the chandeliers, around the bathtub with Vodka? That's not going to happen with my bottle. What a darned waste... We'll definitely need two spritzer bottles when we clean... one spritzer for the throat with the good stuff, one spritzer from the other bottle onto the chrome...
***important not to get the two bottles mixed up especially after a couple of hours of cleaning though****
Great tips regards Zsuzsy
At least now I can say I am using it for my sore throat while I am cleaning my chandeliers :)
vodka cleans the skin so well , i have had great success using vodka, its great on the scalp also, pour a 1/4 cup on your head in the shower, don't open your eyes, massage in and rinse off
Wow, I never knew any of this stuff! Must try out the gargle right away. :)
Just drink it LOL
Dear trimar : Excellent hub. Helpful information. God Bless.
HEY HEY HEY!!! stop peeing on my jellyfish sting!! GET THE VODKA instead! Thanks Trimar
you can use any kind of vodka. why waste money on good stuff unless you are going to drink it. go out and get the cheap 5 or 6 dollar liter of some nasty brand you would never consider drinking and use it for all these tips.
