Ways to Use Used Coffee Grounds1

Posted in Home Life

These neat tips were in October's Good Housekeeping. I thought I would share:

 

1. Spread them over flower beds containing acid-loving plants such as azaleas and rhododendrons

 

2.  Put dry grounds into an old margarine tub with holes poked in the lid. Place the tub in the refrigerator to absorb odors.

 

3.  Keep grounds in a can near the sink. Rub a small amount over your hands after peeling onions, chopping garlic, or handling fish to get rid of the odor.

But I really needed this advice yesterday when I tried everything to get the onion smell off of my hands.

Grounds get rid of the smell of onion?? Really??
I will have to try that -- some time -- when I meet someone who will give me coffee grounds OR after we have company for supper. *We are not coffee drinkers unless we have company.

You make me wonder how many other uses for average, everyday things you have in that genius brain of yours.

Fess up! What else do you know?
