This high alcohol content is what makes it an effective cleaning agent.\nVodka can be used to clean all kinds of surfaces, such as countertops, plumbing\nand art fixtures, windows, floors, mirrors, and even clothing. It effectively\neliminates dirt, grime, mold, mildew, adhesives, grease, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selecting a Vodka Brand<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to choosing a vodka to clean your house with, you\ndon\u2019t require a fancy brand. Avoid expensive options, and instead, stick with a\nbasic, generic brand of vodka. The quality of the liquor will not have any\ninfluence on its cleaning and sterilization power, so reserve the top shelf stuff\nfor yourself and your guests! On the other hand, organic vodka comes highly\nrecommended for cleaning since it does not contain any residual chemicals used\nto grow the grains, such as corn, rye, and wheat, or other foodstuffs, like\npotatoes, grapes, and soybeans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Vodka to Clean<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>To prepare your vodka solution, all you need is a clean plastic\nspray bottle, which you can buy at your grocery store in the cleaning aisle, or\nat your local home improvement store. They are also available at your local dollar\nstore! You will also need your conventional cleaning supplies, like rags, sponges,\nand rubber gloves. Fill your bottle up with your vodka of choice, and get ready\nto clean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705  <strong>Mold and Mildew \u2013<\/strong> Vodka will make bathroom mold and mildew removal a breeze. Just spray the affected area, wait 15 minutes, then scrub it clean. Rinse thoroughly to reveal the fruits of your labor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Glass and Mirrors \u2013 <\/strong>To achieve that spotless, streak-free shine on mirrors and glass (including drinking glasses), mist the surface, then wipe clean with a microfiber rag or even some bunched up newspaper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Clothing and Fabrics \u2013 <\/strong>To reduce or eliminate residual odors in clothing, upholstery, curtains and rugs, simply mist them with vodka and let them dry. Don\u2019t worry; it doesn\u2019t leave a scent behind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Sticky Adhesives \u2013 <\/strong>To get rid of that leftover gunk or residue left behind from stickers or labels, generously spray the area with vodka, wait a few minutes, and then see how easy it is to scrub away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 <strong>Hardware and Fixtures \u2013 <\/strong>Remove fingerprints and oily marks from anything metal, such as faucets, doorknobs, and more, with a little spray of vodka. Just spray and wipe for full sterilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u2728 Now pour yourself a vodka cocktail for all the cleaning you\ndid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to Find the Best Vodka Specials in Downtown Indianapolis <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call English Ivy\u2019s at 317-822-5070<\/strong> to hear about our fabulous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishivys.com\/specials.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Downtown Indianapolis drink specials (opens in a new tab)\">Downtown Indianapolis drink specials<\/a> we offer all week long.
