According to this research, the amount of coffee grounds produced in the world is quite significant in order to find alternatives to their more rational use: “every year about 20 million tons of waste coffee is generated. Of these, most end up in the trash. ”

But, these are industrial uses the proposed ones, however, you can also take advantage of the qualities of the sludge of your daily coffee in several things: to clean the house, to treat your skin, to fertilize your plants and improve the quality of the compost.

Cola with coffee grounds, very thick, passed in places where the ants enter the house. The ant makes a path, path, preferential then, you will, simply, intercept this path.

 

  1. Clean Fireplace

 

Then you should use the moist coffee grounds, scattered over the ashes.

The use of coffee grounds in the cleaning of the drains and pipes of the kitchen sink, bathroom shower, tank, anyway, wherever you believe needs to be cleaned. Just throw a good handful of barrel coffee grounds down, and open the water.

The sludge is astringent, helps remove grease and traces of soap that stick together and is slightly abrasive. With the pressure of the water is made the cleaning (I use this system at home, at least once a week and gives very good result). There is no risk that the pipe will clog because the coffee grounds do not cling together; it follows its path with water.

And so you can give a second noble use to the coffee grounds that your house produces, without throwing away that which is a wealth.
