For encrusted pans

No one likes super-encrusted pans after cooking heavily seasoned foods! In fact, there are times when they seem really impossible to clean and make new, but with coffee grounds it will be super easy. All you will need to do is put 2 tablespoons of organic soap in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds. Stir vigorously so that you have a kind of cleaning paste that you will then have to use on the sponge to degrease the pans and pots and pans. If necessary, leave the mixture to work with very hot water for a while and then move on to washing…that’s it, they’ll be new!

Bad odors in the refrigerator

Those times when you open the refrigerator and smell bad odors it means something has gone wrong. There are a variety of reasons for this, but most of the time it is because of dishes gone bad or foods with a particularly strong odor such as fish. Well, to say goodbye to the stench that has formed inside the refrigerator, you will simply have to put one or more cups full of dry bottoms. Leave them for a few days and you will see that gradually all the odors will go away!

DIY Detergent

Last tip with coffee grounds is to make a DIY detergent for the whole house! Since they are perfect in any environment, why not use them in our everyday life and make the most of their cleaning properties? Let’s see together now how to make this natural detergent!

Ingredients and process

Let’s start with the ingredients, they are few and you surely have them at home!

  • 1 loaf of organic Soap (or 1 cup of liquid soap)
  • 2 tablespoons of baking soda
  • 5 tablespoons of coffee grounds

Melt the soap in a double boiler so that the pans are not damaged and the smell does not remain impregnated inside. Once melted, first add the baking soda and then the previously dried grounds. Stir vigorously; you should obtain a thick mixture to be stored in a bottle of your choice. In case the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water so that it becomes fluid. That’s it, now all you have to do is make use of it all over the house!

Warnings

Do not use coffee grounds if you have an allergy or hypersensitivity. Also remember that all methods should be tried first in unseen corners.
