How To Reuse Coffee Grounds Effectively…

Coffee is enriched with valuable nutrients, including your coffee grounds.

Research shows that even coffee grounds contain antioxidant properties, fibers, and phenols.

This, along with their coarse texture, ensures you can get a lot of use out of coffee grounds. All you need is a little creativity, and you’ll be surprised by how valuable coffee grounds can be.

Here are some ways you can put coffee grounds to best use.

1. Plant Fertilization

Coffee grounds are an excellent source of nitrogen.

And if you’re into gardening, you must know how essential nitrogen is for plants. You can prepare quite an effective plant fertilizer with coffee grounds.

Mix the coffee grounds with the soil to boost it instantly.

Or you can even prepare a liquid fertilizer by steeping it in water for a few days.

Imagine being welcomed with a pleasant aroma whenever you open your fridge doors...

Put the used coffee grounds in a small container and place it at the back of your fridge.

Its strong and pleasant aroma will take care of the rest.

3. Keeping Pests at Bay

Used coffee grounds can also help you keep your plants protected from pests like snails.

The smell of the coffee grounds will repel insects.

Note that insects typically find coffee toxic.

So, if you want your plants protected from an attack from snails and ants, this is your best bet!

4. Reducing Cellulite

Unfortunately, cellulite is a problem in around 80 to 90% of women worldwide.

It develops due to the deposition of fat under your skin.

When used coffee grounds are applied to the areas, caffeine weaves its magic and breaks down the fat.

Resulting in blood flow to the area increasing, thereby reducing cellulite.

How do you use coffee grounds for this purpose?

Mix them with water or coconut oil and rub them over the cellulite. The caffeine will dehydrate the cells, taking care of the issue quickly!

5. Skin Exfoliation

You must have noticed how coarse and gritty coffee grounds are.

This texture makes them an excellent choice for body scrubs.

You can get an effective natural exfoliant with used coffee grounds.

Mix the grounds with sugar and coconut oil.

Your body scrub is ready!

You’ll love the soft and smooth feel of your skin.

We bet you’ve often wondered how cool it would be to get natural highlights for your hair.

But the fear of chemicals damaging your hair is a concern.

Fortunately, you can get your desired look with the help of a natural hair dye!

Mix coffee grounds with coconut oil and apply it to your hair.

7. Cleaning The Dishes

Coffee grounds have an abrasive texture.

Use it to scrub off stubborn stains on your pots and pans.

You won't even have to do much.

Sprinkle the used grounds on a wet sponge and scrub the pan. Rinse it away, and your dishes will be clean without any hassles!
