Most people drink the vodka that they buy, but you can actually use it for different tasks. I would recommend buying the cheap $10 stuff though...no Grey Goose for these!

10.) Treating poison ivy: immediately pour vodka on skin that has come into contact with poison ivy, and the it will wash away urushiol oil, the stuff that makes you itch. Some have said that the vodka needs to be at least 100 proof to work.

9.) Freshen laundry: spritz your clothes with the stuff, then hang to dry in a well-ventilated area. Vodka kills odor-causing bacteria, but doesn't leave a scent when it dries.

8.) Clean fixtures: to get your chrome, glass and porcelain fixtures clean and shiny, moisten a soft, clean cloth with vodka, then scrub.

7.) Preserve fresh flowers: add a few drops of vodka and a teaspoon of sugar to the water in your flower vase. It should help keep your flowers fresh longer. Change out the mixture with fresh ingredients daily.

6.) Insect repellent: pour a little of the clear stuff in a spray bottle and squirt on the buggy annoyances, or yourself as a repellent.

5.) Disinfect and soothe jellyfish stings

4.) Shiny, healthy hair: add a jigger of vodka to a 12-ounce bottle of shampoo.

3.) Eliminate mold: fill a spray bottle with some vodka and spritz on, then let sit for 15 minutes. Scrub away with an old toothbrush.

2.) Soothing lavender tincture: fill a clean glass jar with fresh lavender flowers, then top off with vodka. Seal the lid tightly and place in the sun for three days.Strain the resulting liquid through a coffee filter, and you have a homemade tincture to rub into aches and pains.

1.) Toothache remedy: swish a shot of vodka over the affected area. It can help disinfect, and should numb some of the pain in your gums.
