What can you do with your coffee grounds other than tossing them in the trash? Actually you can do many things with them and this article will give you some good ideas. 

1. Cleanse your face - Rub the grounds on your face to exfoliate and let sit for twenty minutes. Rinse and pat dry.
2. Clean your sink drains – Pour used coffee grounds into your sink drain, follow with very hot water to push the grounds through the drain. This will kill any smells and keep your drain fresh smelling.
3. Pest Repellant – Mix coffee grounds with orange peels and spread mixtures on your garden. This will deter pests from entering your garden as most pests do not like the smell of coffee and citrus.
4. Boost carrot and radish growth in your garden – Mix coffee grounds with your radish and carrot seeds and plant entire mixture. Coffee grounds will enhance the growth of these vegetables.
5. Use as a deodorizer – Spread coffee grounds on baking sheet and dry. Put grounds in old panty hose and tie off.  Put coffee grounds into container and poke holes in top and place in freezer or fridge. Putting these grounds into these areas and others that need deodorizing will allow the grounds to soak up any odors.
