Ok, that title might be a stretch, but it is semi-accurate! If you have a dark wood piece of furniture, that has a scratch, you can stain that scratch to hide it. Just mix some grounds with warm water to create a paste consistency. Rub the paste into the crack thoroughly. Wipe the paste off, and the coffee scrub should mask the scratch with a dark stain. You can also do a natural stain on any piece of naked wood. Just do equal parts used coffee grounds, and hot water in a bowl. Strain the liquid out with a coffee filter. Then you can paint this mixture onto wood (probably several coats) to do a natural coffee stain. It is usually a pretty light stain, but it sounds cool to tell people you stained your décor with old coffee!

All this time you were regularly producing the foundation of some household staples. These applications allow you to turn what was once trash, into fun and creative projects. What looks like wet, hot mush, will soon provide extreme utility and put you on the path towards a zero-waste home!
