Experienced housewives know that the leftover tea leaves can be used to solve a variety of household problems. UAportal tells you about three situations in which they can be extremely useful.

Cleaning carpets

Spread the slightly damp brew over the carpet evenly and leave it for about 10-15 minutes. Then use a broom or brush to gently sweep it away. This natural solution effectively collects dirt particles while neutralizing any unpleasant odors.

Marinade for fish

Mix dry tea leaves with ground black pepper and rub the fish generously with the mixture. Leave the ingredients to marinate in a sealed container for 15-20 minutes.

Then sprinkle the fish with vegetable oil and finely chopped onions. After leaving it to rest for another 15 minutes, rinse off the rest of the marinade, season with pepper, and start cooking the fish as desired.

Fertilizing indoor plants

Using dried brew for plant care is another great application. When repotting flowers, use it as an effective drainage layer for pots. As it gradually decomposes, it enriches the soil with valuable nutrients, acting as an organic fertilizer.
