2. Fertiliser
If you are growing any acid-loving plants, then coffee grounds will be the best organic fertiliser for them. For example, hydrangeas, rhododendrons, camellias and roses are acid-loving plants. Simply mix your old grounds with some brown leaves, dead grass clippings to neutralise the acidity and spread them around your plants.
3. Clean dishes
As the texture of coffee grounds are quite rough, it is a great dishes cleaner. Use them to clean the tough-to-clean dishes or some unwanted scratches on the pot and pan.
4. Exfoliate Skin

Try to use cellulite-reducing coffee scrubs and you will slowly see the difference yourself. Mix coffee grounds and warm water, use it twice per week on any areas affected by cellulite.
