&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Web Desk: Many people considered tea bags as a useless material and their only place is trash bin.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here is the list of 10 innovative ways of using tea bags.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Add flavor to pasta and grains&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before adding pasta, rice or other grain to boil, Hang the pre-brewed bags into a pot of water, when it comes to boil, remove the tea bags. Try jasmine or chamomile tea with rice, green tea with pasta.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feed your garden&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Put the packet of used tea bags in a bucket of water and use it for watering plants. This will protect them from fungal infection. You can also sprinkle damp leaves around the plantâ€™s base.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neutralize Household Odors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is also used to remove unpleasant smell. Store pre-brewed tea bags in the refrigerator to keep them smelling fresh. You can also drop dried used tea bags into the bottom of your trash bins to neutralize bad smell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Degrease dirty dishes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soak your dishes in warm water with a couple used tea bags to break up grease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Deodorizing Hand scrub&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To remove the unpleasant smell of garlic, onion, fish, use pre-brewed tea bags to scrub your hands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soak your feet&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add used tea bags to warm water and soak your feet to neutralize foot odors, soften calluses and nourish your skin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Soothe irritated skin&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Place tea bags over sore, tired eyes to ease discomfort. Massage over sun burn to cook skin and reduce inflammation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eliminate bad breath&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tea is a natural breath-freshening mouthwash. Simply brew up some weak tea using your used tea bags.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Condition Hair&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brew up some weak tea with your used bags and use after your shampoo, this will work like a conditioner and nourish your hair and scalp.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Glass cleaner&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add used tea bad in the spray and use it onto windows, mirrors and other glass surfaces.&lt;/p&gt;
