\"coffee\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In Helpling, we start our day with a pipping hot cup of coffee or\u00a0our favorite Kopi O Kosong. But all these\u00a0cups add up to massive amounts of coffee grounds thrown in the trash – so why not put them to better use?<\/p>\n

Here are 5\u00a0ways from Helpling on how you can reuse\u00a0your coffee grounds at home:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0To wash your hands<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all love to have\u00a0garlic and onions in our food – they are such prime ingredients! As much as we enjoy using them for cooking, their\u00a0stubborn smell stays on our hands long after we finished preparing our\u00a0food. Fortunately, used coffee grounds is a great way to deodorize that smell. The next time you cook\u00a0with garlic or onions, simply rub a small amount of coffee grounds on your hands while washing\u00a0under running water. Say bye bye to that unwanted\u00a0lingering smell!<\/p>\n

2. Fridge\u00a0deodorant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coffee grounds can act as an natural freshener especially for your fridge. Place a bowl of used coffee grounds in your fridge and notice how the coffee grounds would slowly dry out from the cold and produce a coffee odor to remove any bad smell. To keep your fridge smelling fresh all day, we recommend changing the\u00a0bowl with new\u00a0used coffee grounds once every 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0For washing the dishes<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all know how therapeutic\u00a0it can be to whip up delicious meals in your kitchen, but washing up after\u00a0is never fun! Oh the procrastination. The next time you are stuck\u00a0in such a situation, simply add 3 tablespoons of used coffee grounds into a basin of hot water. Stir well and use the mixture to clean up dirty surfaces in the kitchen. You can even use it for your stove, pots and pans!<\/p>\n

4. As fertilizer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who would have thought that used coffee grounds could be a fertilizer for your garden? Mix 3 cups of water with 2 table spoons of used coffee grounds in a sprayer. Shake well and spray directly on the leaves of your plants or directly onto\u00a0the soil. The used coffee grounds act as an excellent natural fertilizer and they are also useful in getting rid of snails and ants.<\/p>\n

5. To ward off fleas from pets<\/strong><\/p>\n

Always faced with nasty fleas issue from\u00a0your beloved pets? Fret not, as coffee grounds is an\u00a0extremely useful and cheap alternative to ward off fleas. The next time you take your pet for a bath, simply rub a spoonful of used coffee grounds onto its fur.<\/p>\n
