If you’re like most people, your first instinct after finishing a hot cup of tea is to toss the used teabag straight into the trash. But wait! Before you do, consider this: that little soggy pouch still holds a surprising amount of power. From cleaning hacks to beauty treatments to garden boosters, there are amazing ways to reuse your old teabags—and you’ll never look at them the same way again.
Here are some of the smartest (and simplest!) ways to give your used teabags a second life.
1. Soothe Tired Eyes
Chilled black or green teabags can help reduce puffiness and dark circles under your eyes thanks to the caffeine and antioxidants. Just pop them in the fridge for a few minutes, then place them over your eyes for 10–15 minutes. It’s like a mini spa treatment—totally free!
2. Feed Your Plants
Tea is rich in nitrogen and other nutrients that plants love. Bury used teabags directly in the soil of houseplants or in your garden to enrich the soil, boost moisture retention, and deter pests. Just make sure your teabags don’t have synthetic mesh or plastic.
3. Clean Glass and Mirrors
Tea’s natural tannins can break down grease and grime. Rewet a used teabag and use it to wipe down mirrors, windows, or glass surfaces. Follow up with a soft cloth for a streak-free shine.
