Leftover coffee grounds

Deodorize a freezer. Place a bowl with used coffee grounds in the freezer to remove unwanted odors.
Put some dried coffee grounds in your favorite pair of stinky shoes and watch the odor drift away. Place in a baggie with holes poked in the bag.
Use your morning brew to fight cellulite. Mix the grounds with vitamin E oil and massage onto the area where cellulite exists. Repeat 2 or 3 times and rinse in the shower.
Rub coffee grounds on your pet before bathing to repel any fleas. (Love this one)
Remove furniture scratches with wet coffee grounds.
Use coffee grounds to repel ants. Cinnamon is also good for this.
Keep cats from leaving a little surprise in your garden by spreading used coffee grounds and orange peels throughout your beds or vegetable garden.

Speaking of gardens, since we have a farm, we recycle and compost. We find that your good earthworm population will greatly increase when you work coffee grounds into the soil around your plantings. Earthworms create humus (not hummous), aerate the soil and are often useful when you want a fresh fish for dinner... Coffee grounds will make a lawn greener, as well.
