Coffee is a great odor eater. Place some beans and a fake tealight in a candle holder and use it to deodorize places like bathrooms, family rooms, offices, etc.

Are coffee grounds good for cleaning?

Mix 1 Tablespoon Dawn with your coffee grounds to create an abrasive cleaner. Use it to scrub up cooktops, dry food on counters, and more. Be careful if you have a porous surface counter as coffee can stain.

Can you use coffee grounds to clean pots and pans?

Use the multipurpose cleaner to get baked-on food off of pots, pans, and dishes.

Start by soaking the pot with 1 Tablespoon of the mixture and enough water to cover the bottom. Let that soak for 30 minutes (or more for really tough baked-on food). Use a scrub brush to lightly scrub, dump out and rinse.

You might find a little extra still in the pan. So scoop 1 Tablespoon of the mixture into the pot without adding water. Use a scrub brush and scrub up the remaining burnt-on substance.

Rinse out and your pan will be clean.
