Baking soda absorbs well and partially neutralizes some odors, while coffee has its own intense aroma that helps mask them. A small container with the mixture can be placed in the refrigerator, wardrobe, or next to the trash can to reduce unpleasant odors.

Cleaning grease and burnt-on residue
Mixing baking soda, coffee grounds, and a little water creates a thick paste that can be used as a gentle scrubbing agent.
It is suitable for cleaning:
pots;
pans;
oven racks;
metal surfaces with burnt-on food residues.
Apply the paste with a sponge to the contaminated surface, leave for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
Before using on sensitive or glossy surfaces, test the mixture in an inconspicuous area, as abrasive particles may leave fine scratches.
