There’s a little thing called coffee which we all seem to know and love. It wakes us up in the morning…in the afternoon…at night…after a Friday evening that was a little too fun…during a conference at work that’s just a little to monotonous. It kisses our taste buds with with each sip of its robust deliciousness and hugs the soul with its warm aroma. While we love coffee for all that sweet brown liquid provides, don’t leave out the coffee grounds – those little helpers have quite a few household uses you don’t want to miss out on.
Plant Fertilization
Some of those house plants looking a little tired? All they need is a little energy boost! Mix in some of those old coffee grounds with the plant’s soil for extra fertilization assistance.
Deodorize Your Stinky Fridge
Arm n Hammer isn’t the only one that can do the trick – try sticking a bowl of coffee grounds in the freezer to freshen the air in there.
Flea Repellent
Fleas are inevitably going to be a pesky problem for your pet at some point. If you aren’t into using chemicals to treat the problem, try combing some coffee grounds thru your pet’s fut next bath-time – it’s said to repel those icky fleas.
Ant-B-Gone
Ants. Summer’s common and unwanted house guest. Try sprinkling coffee grounds where the ants seem to be congregating to deter them and send them packing. This is especially great if you have young children and you don’t want those pesticides used in the home.
Deter Cats From Turning Your Garden Into a Litter Box
This works great if you mix those coffee grounds with some orange peels and then spread throughout your garden.
Soften and Shine Your Hair
Simply rub some coffee grounds into your hair when showering and rinse out. This can enhance your hair’s shine and softness and even add some highlights for you brunettes out there.
No More Stinky Hands
When peeling and chopping and cooking some foods tend to leave an awful stench on your hands that scrubbing with soap can’t even fix. Next time, try rubbing some coffee grounds on your hands and then rinsing – bet that smell will be gone!
