My DD manages a performing arts center, and she tells me that many shows request a case of vodka. At first she thought it was for drinking, but it's actually for the costumes! Since many period costumes can't be washed or even dry cleaned, the wardrobe workers spray straight vodka on them for spot cleaning and deodorizing. Sponged on carefully, she says that vodka will even get out sweat stains on delicate silk tutus and velvet dresses.
I wonder if any of the vodka ends up somewhere else? lol
