The Many Everyday Uses of Tea

Tea is not only a refreshing drink but also a versatile household helper. For instance, tea water can be used to wash new furniture several times to help remove unpleasant paint odors. Tea may also provide relief from toothache: simply steep tea leaves in hot water for five minutes, add one milliliter of aged vinegar, and drink daily. In addition, washing wool sweaters or fabrics with tea can help prevent fading and extend their lifespan.

Tea leaves can even help neutralize garlic breath—holding a small pinch in your mouth after eating garlic quickly freshens it. Beyond that, tea has also been used in traditional remedies for swelling, oral inflammation, and certain skin conditions. In short, tea is a true household treasure: both freshly brewed tea and even used tea leaves can be put to good use in daily life.
