Why You Should Never Throw Away Used Tea Bags: Hidden Household & Garden Gold

ADVERTISEMENT

Dry used tea bags and place them in shoes, refrigerators, trash bins, or closets to absorb unpleasant odors.

Fertilize Plants:
Bury tea bags near plant roots or compost them to enrich the soil with nutrients and attract beneficial worms.

Shine Mirrors & Glass:
Use a damp, used tea bag to wipe mirrors or glass surfaces, then buff with a cloth for a streak-free shine.

Soothe Skin Irritations:
Chill used chamomile or green tea bags and place them on puffy eyes, sunburns, bug bites, or razor burns for relief.

Repel Pests:
Place mint tea bags in areas where ants or mice appear. The scent helps deter them naturally.

Clean Greasy Dishes:
Soak greasy pans with water and a used tea bag. The tannins help break down oils and food residues.

Freshen Carpets:
Dry tea bags thoroughly, then crumble and sprinkle over carpets. Let sit for 10 minutes before vacuuming.
