Did you know that alcohol serves different purposes other than drinking? The alcohol that we are used to that is used for merrymaking and celebration can be used for other things, these include:
1. You can polish metal with beer
Before you polish off a six-pack, save a can of beer and use the frothy quaff inside to polish your home’s metal surfaces. You can use whatever you have on tap for faucets, sinks, and showerheads too. Follow up by rinsing with water to prevent a sticky, bar-counter-like film from staying permanently.
2. Clean mirror with vodka
One way to make your mirrors as crystal clear as vodka is to actually spray your mirrors with vodka. The best way is to first dilute your proof with water for a gentler solution then load up a spray bottle, give your reflection a spritz, and wipe dust, dirt, and residue away.
3. Grow plants with beer
Those same sugars and minerals in beer that make potbellies grow big can help houseplants grow well too. You can put this gardener’s trick of the trade to the test by pouring a little shot from your can into the soil every couple of days. Watch as your potbelly shrinks and your potted plants grow big.
4. Clean jewellery with gin
Faded silver and filmy diamonds hardly reflect their true value. Make them look like the precious possessions they really are by giving them a little shine with some gin (no tonic needed). Then rings will sparkle and necklaces will shine, and the wearer will sparkle.
5. Clean furniture with beer
Beer is great for cleaning antique wooden furniture. A fine cloth or rag and some flat beer are all you’ll need for the job. Of course, as with any cleaning agent, always start with a small patch for a test.
