Don’t throw away the coffee grounds! You can use them for these 7 household tasks

Treat puffy eyes or clean pots and pans: coffee grounds work real miracles

It’s like a little ritual. We make a cup of coffee, drink our coffees and throw away the coffee bag or filter. However, next time we should skip that final step. Coffee grounds are apparently useful for many household tasks.

funny smells

Unfortunately, brushing your teeth is better than drinking a cup of coffee if you want fresh breath. However, coffee can neutralize certain unpleasant odours, even in the mouth. For example, you can suck on a coffee bean to remove the strong smell of garlic and onion. Does your fridge sometimes have an unpleasant and strange smell? That’s easy to solve by putting a container with some coffee grounds in it.

treat puffy eyes

No matter how many cups of coffee you drink in the morning, sometimes you still look a little sleepy. There are many tricks to get rid of dark circles. The use of coffee grounds is one of them. Mix some coffee grounds with water or olive oil, then carefully apply the mixture around your eyes. Caffeine improves blood circulation, making you look more awake. Leave the mask on for about fifteen minutes and then rinse it off. This will make it look like you had a good night’s rest.

repel insects

We can hardly believe that someone does not like coffee, but ants and fleas are apparently not fans of the drink. Anyway, that’s pretty useful. You can repel bugs by using some coffee grounds. To do this, place a cup of coffee grounds in places where insects can easily enter, near windows or doors. In summer, coffee grounds are also a miracle cure against mosquitoes. Use it as a kind of candle lighting a cup of ground coffee (careful, you don’t want to set anything else on fire!).
