Make coffee grounds a good helper in life.

Coffee drinkers often have to face a lot of dregs left after brewing coffee, so it's a pity to dump it. An article published by the American Coffee knowledge Network recently suggested that we reuse resources to make coffee grounds a good helper in life.

Coffee grounds have the following main functions:

(1) deodorization

Dry the collected coffee powder (it is necessary, otherwise it will get moldy) and then spread it evenly into a small box and put it in a toilet and other smelly places. Or put it in a non-woven bag, in a shoe cabinet or in the refrigerator. But you have to change it in 7 days at the most, otherwise it won't work.

The pot has been used for a long time, more or less has the smell of oil, put the wet coffee grounds (or tea grounds) in the pot to stir-fry dry, you can remove the smell from the pot. If there are smokers at home, you can also put a layer in their ashtrays to remove the smell of smoke. In addition, putting coffee grounds in the refrigerator can avoid the smell of food; put it in the corner of the room to absorb the smell and prevent insects from invading; laying it in an ashtray can remove the stench of smoke and make it easier to extinguish cigarette butts; stir-fry the wet coffee grounds in the pan until dry, you can remove the smell from the pot.

(2) dehumidification

Also need to dry the coffee powder, put it in a wet place and change the dry one or two days.

(3) Beauty

I think MM all like that. The substance contained in coffee itself has a tightening and fat-reducing effect on the skin, coupled with coffee grounds particles can remove dead skin, so for the summer MM, it should be regarded as a family beauty sanctity.

(4) maintenance articles

The coffee grounds itself contains a certain amount of oil, so it can be made into a small packet of needles. Or smear the wooden floor in the unwanted stockings to achieve the effect of waxing (forget the car). If you have bronze ware at home, you can wrap the fresh coffee grounds in cloth and use them for maintenance, but the surface of the bronze ware can not be treated, otherwise it will destroy the original surface. Freshly cooked coffee grounds will leave a lot of coffee oil, such as copper products at home (appearance without any treatment, such as painting, electroplating … .), you can wrap the coffee grounds in a cloth and wipe it with the oozing coffee oil.

(5) Clean

It can be mixed with hand sanitizer, and the activated carbon in the dregs can help remove dirt that you can't see on your hands.

Or pour coffee grounds into the sink and wash the sink with water to remove the stench and grease from the drain. What can coffee grounds do after brewing coffee? Unexpectedly, the principle of hand washing with coffee grounds mixed with hand sanitizer is that this coffee grounds contains activated carbon that can absorb a lot of tiny dirt, and then use the cleaning of hand washing milk, the decontamination effect is naturally better than the general.

(VI) nourishment and deworming

Coffee grounds can be used as nourishment because they contain a lot of nitrogen. It's just that it's not suitable for all plants, and it's best to mix the soil first, ferment it into compost and then use it in flowers and plants. (it is suggested on the Internet that bean dregs, chicken dung or rice bran can be added to coffee grounds. This anaerobic composting will work better). Coffee grounds are acidic, and plants that like acidic soil can use it as fertilizer, so it has a good effect on aloe, mint, nine-story tower, evergreen plants and azaleas.

With regard to deworming, it does not seem to be effective for all insect pests, but only for molluscs such as snails and slugs.

(7) Sleeping

This basically has nothing to do with Xiaomi. Xiaomi is the kind of person who can fall asleep immediately after drinking a large cup of black coffee. And Xiaomi is easy to lack of water, so it is not possible to drink coffee. Although coffee is a stand-in drink, the aroma of coffee can calm the mind and help you sleep. You can wrap the coffee grounds in the pillow, but not too much, light, as long as you feel comfortable asking, too strong aroma will also lead to insomnia. This method varies from person to person. After all, there is no such thing as a hundred-try method in the world, is there?

(8) tighten the skin and lose weight

Massage the skin with coffee grounds, with the effect of "tightening" and smoothing the skin, especially the thighs, abdomen, arms and hip circumference, which are easy to hoard fat, can be massaged with coffee grounds to remove fat, while taking a bath and shower while massage to remove fat, can also achieve the effect of tightening the skin and losing weight.

(9) floor waxing

The coffee grounds are dried and loaded into stockings to polish the floor, which can achieve the effect of waxing, and the floor becomes very bright.
