To get rid of bad smells in your fridge, why not give coffee grounds a try? Think about it, even when you’re in a perfume shop, they sometimes give you coffee to smell to cleanse your nose pallet!

Coffee grounds cannot strictly unblock your pipes, but they can help maintain the pipes in your sink and help you avoid a blockage. Once a week, mix a tablespoon of coffee grounds with a large glass of hot water and pour the mixture down the drain. The build-up of food, fat and grease will soon disappear.
A dish degreaser
Just like with your pipes, you can even use coffee grounds to get rid of grease on your dishes. Whether you’re out of washing up liquid or have a really greasy pan, just add a little coffee grounds when scrubbing!
