Get Creative with Coffee Grounds

Hey, did you know that our Member’s Mark Fair Trade Certified™ coffee grounds have some cool practical uses even after you've brewed your coffee? Check this out—here are three awesome ways to give those used coffee grounds a second life:

1. Neutralize odors: Coffee contains nitrogen, which is great at eliminating odors. Just leave an open container of used grounds around to get rid of any unpleasant smells. You can also make a little sachet to hang around your place or toss in your car. Just make sure those grounds are completely dried out to avoid any mold issues. Oh, and here's a neat trick: after handling strong-smelling foods like garlic or onions, rub some used coffee grounds on your hands to get rid of the lingering scent.
2. Make an exfoliant: Grab those coffee grounds and mix them up with some gritty sugar and your favorite oil. Give your damp skin a good scrub with the mix, and then rinse it off. Your skin will thank you!
3. Scrub hard-to-clean surfaces: Sprinkle those grounds onto stuff like pots, pans, gardening tools or even your grill grates. The gritty texture works wonders in tackling grease, stubborn stains and stuck-on food.

Notes: Used coffee grounds contain moisture after brewing so be sure to refrigerate, freeze or dry them out to prevent mold.
