Tea bags can actually come in handy in a variety of situations. In particular, their use goes beyond just making a hot drink. UAportal has prepared three practical life hacks that will help you use tea bags in everyday life.

Shoe care

Even if you strictly adhere to cleanliness and hygiene, from time to time your shoes may still emit an unpleasant odor. This odor is not always the result of dirty socks.

A simple and effective solution to combat this is to put tea bags inside your socks overnight. It is advisable to use tea with added flavors.

Fertilizing of plants

Plants need nitrogen for healthy growth. Surprisingly, tea bags can be a great natural fertilizer option. However, it is important to use only tea bags without any additives or flavors.

When burying the teabags in the soil, be sure to remove the paper and metal clasps. This natural and eco-friendly method will enrich the soil with additional nutrients, contributing to the well-being of your plants.

Skin care

Although few people know about it, tea bags can help improve the appearance of your skin by fighting acne and reducing wrinkles. After cleansing, simply wipe your face with a tea bag. It is advisable to repeat this procedure every night for optimal results.
