Tea is the second most popular drink in the world, the first being water. Of course, this is not a surprise to us, given the data on the health benefits of herbal, green and black teas.
But the benefits of black tea bags don't stop there. We share with you ways to reuse a tea bag.
1.Skin care. If you have a slight skin irritation, insect bite or burn, apply a tea bag to the damaged skin and you will feel relief.
In addition, tea brewing perfectly removes puffiness of the eyelids and eliminates bags under the eyes. It is very simple to take two freshly used bags, put them on your eyelids and just lie down for five to ten minutes relaxing. The effect will surprise you!
2. Deodorant. Put tea bags in your shoes to get rid of the smell.
And if you add 1-2 drops of your favorite essential oils to the used and dried bag, you will get a wonderful dry flavor. It can be used in the toilet or hung by a thread in a shoe closet. The tea bag will smell good for a very long time.
3. As an unpleasant odor neutralizer in the refrigerator. An open pack of even the cheapest tea perfectly absorbs odors in the refrigerator. Fried fish or meatballs, garlic or onion salad give off their smell and soak other foods with it. It is not always possible to pack them in tightly closed containers, so the problem of unwanted “flavoring” exists. Used tea bags are great for getting rid of bad smells in the fridge. The advantage of this method is that you can always keep a few bags there, regularly replacing them with fresh ones after each tea party.
4. As a detergent and cleaner. All office workers are familiar with the picture: they drank tea, rinsed the cup, and brown stains remained on the cup. You need a washcloth, soda or scouring powder to wash to a shine. All these products will perfectly replace the used tea bag! Do not throw it away immediately, put it on a saucer, and then wipe the cup with a bag - it will shine with cleanliness!
5. To remove grease from dishes. A dirty plate cannot be washed in cold water unless there is a special fat-dissolving agent. Soak dishes with used tea bags. The tannins contained in the tea will dissolve the fat. And you can easily wash the dishes afterwards. The clean and eco-friendly way!
6. Glass cleaning. To clean mirrors, windows, and other surfaces, simply pour boiling water over old tea bags and spray the resulting tea solution on them. This will allow you to easily get rid of any dirt and fingerprints.
