5 ways to use coffee to clean your home

Wardrobes

If you have scuffs on fitted wardrobes or other wooden furniture, you can use coffee grounds to help cover them.

Make a thick paste with coffee grounds and water or oil and apply to any scratch marks.

Then leave it to sit for around 15 minutes before wiping it off and buffing the wood dry.

Oven

Mix used coffee grounds with a small amount of water to create a thick paste - this can be used on the surfaces of your oven to remove stains and grease buildup.

Leave the coffee to sit for 30 minutes and then wipe with a damp cloth.

If you have a lingering coffee smell in your kitchen after trying this, turn your oven on for 20 minutes at 100C.
