Teabags: 7 household remedies that show why you should never throw away a used teabag again

Here’s a handy guide on clever ways to reuse your old tea bags instead of tossing them away:

  1. Soothe Sunburns:
    Dampen a used black tea bag with cold water and apply it to sunburned skin. The tannic acid in black tea helps cool and heal sunburns.

  2. Relieve Minor Burns:
    Apply a cooled used black tea bag to small burns. The tannins soothe the skin and reduce discomfort.

  3. Get Rid of Warts:
    Place a cooled used green tea bag on a wart for 15 minutes, then replace it with a fresh one for another 15 minutes. Repeat over a few days until the wart falls off.

  4. Reduce Puffy Eyes:
    Keep used black tea bags refrigerated for a day or two, then place them on your eyes to reduce puffiness thanks to their tannins.

  5. Remove Grease Stains:
    Drop several tea bags into a sink full of water with greasy dishes. The tea helps loosen tough stains for easier cleaning.

  6. Weed Killer:
    Brew black tea or make a citrus-tea-vinegar mixture to spray on weeds, acting as a natural weed killer.

  7. Fertilizer:
    Compost used tea bags or bury them around plants like roses and ferns. The nutrients enrich soil and support plant growth.

These simple tricks can save you money and reduce waste, turning your used tea bags into versatile household helpers!
