Let the tea bags dry completely, then open them and sprinkle the loose leaves over your carpet. Let sit for 10–15 minutes and vacuum. It’s a simple way to give your home a fresh, clean scent.
5. Clean Greasy Dishes
Soak greasy pans or dirty dishes with a few used tea bags. The natural tannins help cut through grease and loosen stuck-on food, making scrubbing easier and faster.
6. Calm Razor Burn or Sunburn
A used chamomile tea bag can be a skin saver. Chill it in the fridge and place it gently over irritated or sunburned areas. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe and cool the skin naturally.
7. Polish Wood or Glass
Used tea (especially black tea) contains tannins that can help clean and shine hardwood floors or glass surfaces. Just brew a mild tea from your used bags and wipe the surfaces with a soft cloth.
Final Tip:
Let used tea bags dry completely if you’re saving them for later use. Store them in a breathable container to prevent mold.
