20 Genius things you can do with that used tea bag


I have personally tried some of this tricks, and it worked for me, it's just simply amazing, 

The next time you drink a cup of tea, don’t throw away the tea bags, try some of this useful tricks.   
You can use them for different purposes.

1. Skin Irritation, Burns, Bruising, Mosquito Bites.
Pour the dry tea bag with water and put it on the spot that needs treatment of inflammation. You can use this trick for dark eye circles, to lower the swelling around the eyes and refresh this area.

2. Fridge Smell
You don’t need to buy soda to get rid of the bad smell from the fridge. Put a couple of tea bags in a plastic bowl and that will do the job equally.

3. Washing Dishes
If a lot of dirty dishes are waiting to be washed the tea bags can help. Pour some of them in the sink and the tea bags will do the rest. If you leave them like that overnight, the next day you will wash those dishes way easier.

4. Bugs, Rodents And Other Vermin
Leave the teabags in the cupboard and in other critical places of your home. For this situation mint tea bags are the best, because rats and bugs can’t stand mint. That’s why, the next time when you drink something warm don’t throw away the bags, try out some of these useful tricks and save money.


5. To remove food Odour 
Rinse your hands with water and a brewed tea bag to remove food odors, especially onions and fish.

6. You suffering from toothache?
Warm up a brewed tea bag, take the leaves out of it, roll them in a scrap of fabric, and use as a compress for a painful toothache, canker sore, or fat lip.

7. And you Complain of smelly foot?
Give your feet a daily tea bath that calms, restores, and also eliminates offensive odors! Just boil three or four brewed tea bags in one quart of water for ten minutes. Once the water has cooled enough to be comfortable for your feet, soak them for twenty to thirty minutes.

8. Soothe razor burn and relieve nicks and cuts by pressing a wet tea bag to your skin. Not only will the tea take some of the sting out, it will also stop the bleeding.

9. To Drain Blister or abscess without pain
cover the affected area with a wet tea bag overnight; you'll see results by the time you wake up the next morning.

10. Cook an incredibly moist turkey by adding a brewed tea bag and a cup of water to the pan. The tannin in the tea is a natural meat tenderizer and adds a unique, delicious flavor.

11. Sprinkle the damp tea leaves from a brewed tea bag over the ashes in your fireplace before cleaning it out, the tea will keep the ashes from rising and making a mess when you lift them out.


12. Wipe cast-iron pots and pans with a brewed tea bag to remove and prevent rust.

13. Empty the dry contents from several brewed tea bags onto smelly carpets or pet bedding, allow to settle for ten or fifteen minutes, then deodorize the area when you vacuum and leave the refreshing scent of tea behind. This will also deodorize the vacuum cleaner bag at the same time.


14. Clean your Home

Yes, that’s right- tea can be used to clean your homes as well. Boil a couple of tea bags (used ones work too) in a cup of water. Now dip a soft clean cloth into this solution, drain the excess, and wipe away the dirt and grime from your windows and doors, furniture and even mirrors!



16. Eliminate Bad Breath
Use twice-brewed tea to make an all-natural breath-freshening mouthwash. Simply brew up some weak tea using your used tea bags. (While this will work with many kinds of tea, peppermint and green teas tend to work best.)

17. Condition Hair
Brew up some weak tea with your used bags and use after your shampoo to condition and nourish your hair and scalp.


18. Renew Wood Surfaces
Use weak tea made from pre-brewed bags to clean and shine hardwood floors and polish wood furniture.


19. Dye Paper and Cloth
Steep used tea bags and use the weak tea water to turn boring white paper into sepia-toned, antique parchment. Or use weak tea made from pre-brewed bags to dye white cloth in shades of warm brown, orange, or pale green.







With all of these great ideas for re-using your old tea bags, you’ll most likely want to store a few away until you’re ready to use them. Moist tea bags can be kept at room temperature for a day at the most. Otherwise, you will want to refrigerate them to prevent mold and bacteria growth. Just remember that all natural foods – tea included – will go bad after a long enough period of time, even when kept chilled. When in doubt, use your nose. If your old tea bags smell funky when you take them out of the refrigerator, it’s probably best to toss them and use a fresh bag just to be safe
