The video discusses creative ways to reuse coffee grounds instead of throwing them away. To increase their shelf life, the coffee grounds can be dehydrated in the sun for a few hours. Some uses for the dehydrated coffee grounds include:
1. Fertilizer for plants: Mix the grounds into the soil or use as a monthly top dressing.
2. Deodorizer for fridges and cabinets: Place the dehydrated grounds in a glass jar or sachet.
3. Deodorizer for shoes and bags: Fill an old sock with the grounds and tie a knot.
4. Natural exfoliant: Mix the grounds with coconut oil or other thick oils to create a scrub.
5. Replacing steel wool: Use the grounds with a biodegradable loofah to clean pans and remove stuck food.
