You might be surprised to learn that used tea bags can be repurposed in a way that offers a range of benefits beyond your cup of tea. Storing tea bags in the fridge is a little-known but incredibly effective trick that can be both practical and beneficial. Here’s how this ingenious method works and the surprising benefits it can bring.
1. Eliminate Odors in the Fridge
How It Works: Tea bags, especially those made from green or black tea, are excellent at absorbing and neutralizing odors. The tannins in the tea act as natural deodorizers, effectively trapping and eliminating unpleasant smells from your refrigerator.
How to Use:
After brewing your tea, allow the tea bags to dry out slightly.

Replace the tea bags every 3-4 days to keep your fridge smelling fresh and clean.
Result: Say goodbye to unwanted odors in your fridge! This simple trick keeps your fridge smelling neutral, without the need for chemical deodorizers.
2. Soothe Tired or Puffy Eyes
How It Works: Tea bags stored in the fridge become cool and refreshing, making them ideal for reducing puffiness and soothing tired eyes. The caffeine in tea helps constrict blood vessels, while the cool temperature reduces swelling and inflammation.
