Top Ten Uses for Coffee Grounds

Check out this great article on the top ten uses for fresh or spent coffee grounds
on HowToDoThings.com. Most of us already know you can use it for compost, but did you know you can use it to deodorize your kitchen drain, or as a dog shampoo? Some of this stuff was new to me, and I can’t wait to try it, even if I’m a little dubious about a couple of the applications. Some I have tried–I can vouch that fresh coffee grounds make a great fridge deodorizer (just be sure you never brew them), and I’ve also used coffee on steaks as a flavoring tenderizer.

I don’t know about using it on my hair, though. If any of you try it, you must let me know how it went.

Wow. And I thought that coffee grounds were only for brewing coffee. Yes, I agree that somebody has to do it, BUT it won’t be me. Great post by the way.
