The Many Uses of Coffee Grounds - Part 2

Scour pans, tools, etc

Eliminate stubborn, stuck-on grime by scrubbing with a couple spoonfuls of coffee grounds. The gentle abrasion provides extra scouring power to clean the dirtiest of dishes and pans. "You don't need to mix in soap, just use a thin cloth to get the abrasive action working," says Melissa Maker, host of the Clean My Space channel on YouTube and founder of a Toronto-based cleaning service of the same name. Before scouring the whole pan, test a small area to make sure the grounds don't stain the surface—and never use on delicate ceramic or non-stick surfaces.
