Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen making them perfect for compost giving your plants a wonderful and natural boost of life. They also act as a natural repellent that help deter snails, slugs, and other bugs.

 

TEXTURIZE YOUR DIY SOAPS AND SCRUBS 

Have a knack for homemade crafts like soap and scrubs? Coffee acts as a great natural exfoliant! Add a few tablespoons into your next batch for extra aroma and texture.

 

GET SCRUBBING ON THOSE TOUGH STAINS

Have some tough baked on grease you need to remove? The grounds gritty texture makes for a great natural abrasive. Rub some coffee grounds into the spot and watch as the texture naturally helps get through its tough barrier.

 

SOMETHING SMELL? DEODORIZE ANYTHING

Stinky hands after cutting onions or garlic? Rub some grounds between your fingers! Coffee grounds absorb odors really well and after all, who doesn’t like the smell of coffee. Pop a small open jar in your fridge or pantry, or even add the grinds into a cloth baggie and place inside your shoes!

 

ELEVATE YOUR OLD CANDLES

Have a candle that just isn’t filling the house with fragrance anymore? Add a tablespoon or two of the coffee grounds into the melted wax and let the café house come to you.

 

THE CAMPFIRE HACK YOU'RE MISSING

Who doesn’t love a cup of coffee while camping? Next time you’re sitting beside a campfire, don’t just toss your coffee grounds away; toss them into the campfire. The smoke from the grounds will naturally keep mosquitos away.
