6. Natural stain for wood or fabrics

How to use: Boil the grounds in water, strain and use the liquid as a dye.

7. Hand Degreaser

How to use: Rub some of the grounds with water on your hands after handling grease or strong-smelling foods (such as garlic or onions).
Tip: Works like a natural soap and leaves your hands clean without damaging your skin.

Final Tips

  • Be sure to dry the grounds thoroughly before storing them to prevent mold from developing.
  • Store them in an open container or paper bags until they are completely dry.
  • Always use cold grounds and no sugar or milk, as these ingredients can attract pests or spoil the mixture.
  • If you have a lot of plants, mix them with compost or soil instead of applying them directly in large quantities.
