Keep A Bowl Of Coffee Grounds In Your Kitchen And Thank Us Later
By LILLY PALTSEV
Keeping coffee grounds in a bowl on your countertop will give your kitchen a pleasing coffee smell, as caffeine contains nitrogen, which helps absorb unpleasant smells.
You can also place coffee grounds in an open container and place it inside your fridge. Aside from being great air fresheners, they have plenty of other benefits too.
Due to their gritty texture and acidic content, they make great cleaning agents. You can use them to clean dirty pots, pans, counters, or even grill grates.
There are a number of beasties that hate the smell of coffee, including mosquitos, ants, wasps, and fleas, so a bowlful of good-smelling coffee should help keep pests away, too.
