A good housewife will not be wasted for nothing - even such a seemingly useless thing as a sleeping tea brew! Most often, people throw it away, and thrifty hostesses have come up with many ways of its beneficial use.
Fertilizer and soil drainage
For indoor plants and garden plantings, the tea brew tea is an excellent fertilizer and drainage substrate. To do this, you need to dry the tea leaves on a sieve or wire rack, collect a sufficient amount of it, and then mix it with the ground in a flower pot or in the garden.
Means for cleaning carpets, rugs and upholstered furniture
A tea brew has the ability to absorb dust and dirt - just like wet sawdust. To clean and refresh the carpet or fabric upholstery of upholstered furniture, you need to spread the wet tea leaves on the surface to be cleaned, wait 10 minutes, and then sweep the entire tea leaves with a brush or a broom. This is a great option for wet cleaning, when the space is cleaned not only of visible particles of dust and dirt, but also of microscopic and very harmful finely dispersed dust, which wet welding attracts to itself.
Eye compress
You can use tea bags, but they, unfortunately, often contain dyes and other chemicals. Therefore, it is better to use natural sleeping tea leaves, wrapping tea leaves in gauze or a napkin. The compress should be sufficiently moist; if you need to steam and soften the skin, then the compress should be warm, and to absorb the dark circles under the eyes - on the contrary, cold: you can put the tea leaves in the refrigerator before use.
Odor neutralizer
It happens that when cooking dishes with a persistent smell, for example, a fish, a pan or pan absorbs this smell, and it does not disappear for a long time. In this case, you can add the tea leaves you have brewed into the dishes, add a little water, boil for 2-3 minutes and cool. Pour the contents of the pot or pan into the drain and then rinse in the usual way.
