If you entertain or like to tinker around with home mixology every so often, you probably have a bottle of vodka as part of your home bar. We’re guessing that bottle of Tito’s or King St. vodka doesn’t often make it into the laundry room, though. It’s high time to change that, one cleaning expert suggests—but not for drinking while you clean or fold your clothes!
Patric Richardson, a self-proclaimed “laundry evangelist,” recommends keeping a spray bottle filled with vodka in your laundry room to help clear up any lingering smells.
“There’s this wonderful customer that comes to my store, and she always wants to give me a hug, and when she leaves I smell like [perfume],” Richardson says in anApartment Therapyinterview, explaining the concept further. “I go in the stock room and have one of my sales people spray me with vodka to take that away.”
Vodka is clear-colored and odorless once it dries, so there’s no need to worry that you’ll smell like you spilled your drink after you run your clothes through the usual wash cycle. Instead, the liquor’s high alcohol content and antibacterial properties work well to neutralize a wide variety of scents.
“You can spray your gym bag with vodka; if you go to your favorite restaurant and you leave [smelling like food], you can spray that [outfit] with vodka; If you stand next to a smoker, you can spray that with vodka,” Richard tellsApartment Therapy.
