Genius Ways To Recycle Used Coffee Grounds - You Will Never Throw Them Away Again

Most people need a cup of coffee before they’re ready to start the day. A hot cup of coffee is full of antioxidants and it can help you stay awake. However, coffee grounds can be used for more than just a daily caffeine boost.

You can use coffee grounds as a deodorizer to eliminate unpleasant smells in the fridge or freezer. Just put a few cups of coffee grounds in an open container and set it inside for a week or two to counter the odors. If your hands smell like onions or garlic, take some coffee grounds, rub some on your hands (like sand), splash a bit of water on it, and keep rubbing your hands to remove the smell.

Coffee grounds can be used as Natural scouring pads. Since coffee grounds are abrasive, you can use them as makeshift scouring pads. Grounds can also be used as standard cleaners since they’re not scratchy. Use grounds to remove the grease and grime from dishes and minimize the chemical products in your homestead.

Coffee grounds can be added to homemade soap to make a rejuvenating soap. The grounds will help exfoliate dead skin cells, and the caffeine in the coffee will also be absorbed via your skin for an extra energy boost. Using homemade soap with coffee grounds can also help get rid of under eye bags.

You can use coffee grounds to remove residue from hair styling products that build-up to give your hair a lift and restore its natural healthy shine. Before you shampoo, simply grab a handful of used grounds and massage them into your hair. The coarse texture is enough to break apart the product residue, but it’s also gentle enough that it won’t damage your locks.

Coffee grounds make an excellent exfoliating body scrub! Just add used grounds to a bit of warm water or your favorite all-natural oil, coconut oil works great! Then scrub your skin from head to foot to remove all of those icky dead skin cells.

If you have coffee grounds, you can use them to add acidity to your compost pile, which will help attract worms and repel pests. Keep in mind that the ratio of green matter and brown matter must be equal, and coffee is counted as green matter. Since coffee is full of nitrogen, it can help your compost cure properly. To boost the phosphorus or potassium content of your compost, add some banana peels.

Coffee grounds contain two of the three major components of fertilizer: nitrogen and potassium. Grounds can boost the magnesium content of the fertilizer, which can make your plants grow strong. Some lime and wood ash will also boost the phosphorus and calcium level of the fertilizer.

Coffee grounds are a carrot superfood. Rubbing carrot seeds in coffee grounds and adding some grounds to the soil when planting the seeds will help you do two things: it will help the carrots grow bigger, and the grounds can keep “underground critters” away from the carrots before they’re ready to harvest.

Sprinkle some coffee grounds around your plants to keep harmful insects away, like ants and slugs. Coffee grounds are suitable for acid-loving plants. But don’t overdo it with plants that require more alkaline soil because if it rains, the grounds could get mixed with the soil.

After just seeing how many things you can do with used coffee grounds, I bet you will never throw them away again.

Thank you for watching!
