Aside from its magical powers in the morning, coffee also has a number of other uses that you might not even know about. Here are a few clever, new uses for coffee.

• Use coffee grounds as a deodorizer. Simply fill an open bowl with the grounds and let them absorb bad smells in the kitchen, an older car, or even in the refrigerator. Likewise, you can also scrub your hands with coffee grounds to remove smells after cutting onions or working with motor oil.
• Create an all-natural dye. Steep coffee grounds in hot water, then use the liquid to add color to clothing, craft projects, and paper.
• Make your own facial scrub. Many top-name beauty brands are already adding grounds to their exfoliating products, as the moist grinds are said to help remove impurities and brighten the complexion.
