Vodka is not just for cocktails anymore, vodka is a versatile, potent potable with cleaning powers aplenty.
There are many legitimate ways to use vodka. Here are the surprising uses.

2. Deodorize laundry – If you’ve been out at a smoky bar and don’t want to wash your clothes from the night before, spritz them with vodka and hang in a well-ventilated area, as recommended by This Old House.
3. Treat poison ivy – Summer hiking means a greater risk of poison ivy. If you find yourself with a nasty rash, follow the advice of Reader’s Digest and pour vodka directly onto the skin to clean away the poison oils.
4. Cool a jelly fish sting – Swimming in the ocean is fun, but it comes with serious risks. If you’re stung by a jelly fish, Esquire recommends pouring vodka onto the sting to disinfect the area and quell the pain.
