Liquids for unclogging drains that are sold in stores are harmful to the environment. Therefore, we suggest using ground coffee as the texture and acidity of ground coffee releases your pipes cleanly and efficiently.

2. Fix furniture scratches

Although there are other natural remedies for this work, such as vinegar or baking, coffee is equally effective. Have a kitchen table that needs a little love? Mixed with warm water and vinegar, coffee can be rubbed into scratches to keep your furniture looking good as new.

4. Enrich your garden

One of the notable uses of coffee is undoubtedly its application in gardening. Just mix coffee ground with water and use it as fertilizer. Besides that coffee ground is also very effective in preventing worms that damage your plants. When combined with water, it acquires a compact form that allows entry of water without problem, which prevents such animals to move comfortably.
