Why Do The Chinese Put Tea Bags In The Toilets?

Why Do The Chinese Put Tea Bags In The Toilets? When You Learn, You Will Use the Tea Bags in the Toilets.

It's hard to believe that tea would make a good household cleaner. But the astringent property of tea cuts oil and dust, and also adds shine to hardwood floors and furniture. Here are practical ways to clean it with tea leaves or tea bags...

TEA MIRACLE ON PARQUET FLOORS
Black tea has been used to mop many hardwood floors throughout its history. The tannic acid in the tea cleans dull old hardwood floors and adds shine. To clean a hardwood floor using tea, follow these few steps:

Boil a pot of water and add five to six tea bags to the water. Turn off the heat and let the tea sit and steep for about 10 minutes.

Carefully pour the tea into your mop bucket. Add cold water to lower the temperature if needed. Since you don't want a wet mop, put your mop in the tea water and wring it out well.

Start by mopping a small area in a discreet place to make sure the tea solution doesn't cause any discoloration. If there is no discoloration, mop the floor as you normally would, using the tea solution as your mop water. Allow the floor to dry.

This method may be fine for cleaning hardwood floors, but you shouldn't use tea to mop laminate hardwood floors.

USE TEA FOR BAD ODOR
Use green tea leaves to eliminate odors in your refrigerator. Tea bags can absorb refrigerator odors, just like baking soda. Or you can put the dried tea leaves in an open container in the refrigerator for a day or two. The leaves will even absorb the pungent garlic and onion odors.

If you've chopped something fragrant while preparing food, try rubbing your hands with tea leaves to remove and absorb the odor.

USE OF TEA IN MICROWAVE CLEANING
Bring the water to a boil and add a few green tea leaves to brew after removing the pot from the heat. Once cool enough to handle, use the tea water to wash the inside and outside of your microwave oven. It will help remove odors and add a fresh-smelling fragrance.

REFRESH YOUR FIREPLACE WITH TEA
Before cleaning the fireplace, add wet tea leaves to the ash. The humidity helps absorb the ash so it isn't blown around.

CLEAN MOM OR WINDOWS WITH TEA
You can put cold brewed tea in a spray bottle and use it to make mirrors and windows sparkle.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO TRY TEA IN TOILETS?
Throw a few tea bags in the toilet. Let them "steep" for about an hour and then discard. Scrub the nightstand with a brush and wash off the liquid tea.

CLEAN BAD ODOR ON CARPET WITH TEA
Sprinkle dried or brewed tea leaves onto a scented rug and let sit for 20 to 60 minutes before vacuuming. To use brewed tea leaves, dry them first because if they get too wet they can stain the carpet. Try a flavored tea like lemon or mint to release a nice scent.

THE SOLUTION FOR SHOE ODOR IS HIDDEN IN TEA
Do not throw away stinky shoes; instead, put a new tea bag (or a brewed and dried tea bag) inside each shoe to remove odor.
