Why You Should Use Coffee Grounds To Clean Your Pots And Pans
By ROBYN HUNT
When caring for your cherished pots and pans, especially heirloom cast iron pieces, using coffee grounds as a cleaning agent can help maintain their quality.
The natural abrasive texture of the coffee grounds is great for effectively removing stubborn food residue without the need for harsh chemicals.
Stir 2 to 3 teaspoons of ground coffee with warm, soapy water and use a soft sponge to scrub the surfaces until they are clean.
The acidic nature of the coffee grounds also works as a natural degreaser and can help you get rid of the stubborn burnt-on food on pots and pans.
Therefore, instead of discarding coffee grounds after brewing your morning coffee, it is best to incorporate them into your everyday cleaning routine.
