So you thought coffee was only meant for drinking? Well, since you never thought about it, here's presenting some of the most creative uses of coffee that you can try next time with your cup of java.
Keep shoes fresh
You can save your musty shoes from the garbage by evenly sprinkling powdered coffee on the soles. Coffee will fight the bad odour your shoes accumulate from sweat and dirt in a way you never thought was possible.
Get better hair
Some ultra-obsessive coffee lovers have found that if you pour a cup of coffee that has cooled to room temperature; you might just find the road that leads to shiny hair. Game enough to join the club?
Use as an air freshener
Coffee grounds can absorb unhealthy and unpleasant air. Use them in an enclosed space such as a refrigerator to rid of fridge smells or near your sink/ ashtray/ desk to keep it from giving out unpleasant odour.
Exfoliate skin
Mixing coffee grounds with a body lotion can actually help you exfoliate skin. If your aim is to have smooth skin (admit it!), then this might be worth a shot.
Fertilise plants
Coffee beans contain nitrogen that are actually very helpful for plants such as roses that require highly acidic soil to grow. Add a little coffee to your soil to help your plants.
Keep away bugs
If you have already spotted ants crawling at your house or worse, your office, then sprinkle some coffee powder on their path. Ants and tiny slugs cannot stand the smell of coffee and will beat a hasty retreat as soon as you put some in their way.
