Some of us cannot imagine our day without a delicious cup of tea. However, once we brew the tea, we often throw the used tea bags into the trash. But that's a big shame! We bring you a few tips on how to use the bags and get a useful helper both when cleaning the household and when taking care of the garden and your body.
Relaxation and care

Hair care
If you want to have nourished, soft and shiny hair, you don't need to spend on expensive shampoos and special conditioners. Treat them to a simple decoction of tea leaves, which is very effective and will cost you practically nothing.
Boil the used tea bags again, let them cool and pour it over your hair at the end of the bath. Take into account your hair color and the fact that there are dyes in the tea. Therefore, use black tea for dark hair and chamomile tea for light.
Eye care

After infusing the tea, squeeze the bags and it does not want to cool. Place the cooled bags on the eyes and leave for 15-25 minutes. Be careful not to get the liquid in your eyes.
The most suitable option for compressing swollen eyes is to use black tea, which contains caffeine, which helps to turn off the skin and relieve swelling. But others can also be used. Green tea for example lightens dark spots and supplies the skin with the necessary antioxidants. Chamomile tea in turn cleanses, brightens and relieves tired eyes.

Fertilizer for your plants
You can take care of your plants at the same time. To keep them healthy and vital, use the power of green tea to support them. All you have to do is throw the used tea bags into a bucket of water, let them infuse and water the plants with this water.
The infused mixture will help you get rid of pests and mold. You can also bury the tea bags directly in the soil next to the plants, or simply lay them on the soil around them. When potted, the nutrients from the tea are released directly into the soil. However, it is important to change the bags regularly. Do not leave them in the flower bed for more than a week.
Window and dish cleaner
Are you getting ready for spring window cleaning, or did you burn the pot while cooking lunch? Even in this case, you can put away preparations full of various chemicals and use a slightly more ecological way.
If you are going to spring window cleaning, just boil the used tea bags again, let them cool and pour the decoction into a sprayer. Spray the mixture on windows or mirrors and watch it release smudges, dirt and grease.
Finally, wipe the glass with a dry cloth and you're done.
In the same way, the decoction will help you fight grease and burnt dishes in the kitchen. Pour hot water into a pot or pan, add tea bags (for example from our range portioned Richard teas) and leave to act overnight. In the morning, pour out the water, rinse the dishes and watch how it works. Cheap and easy!
