1. Skin-tightening face mask
Clean and dry the shells, then grind them with a mortar and pestle into a powder. Mix the powder with an egg white, and then apply the paste to your face and wait for it to dry. Wash it off, and you’ll be able to feel the difference.
2. A household abrasive
Use crushed eggshells and soapy water to clean the insides of containers, as well as pots and pans. Simply put the solution into the container and shake it well. Oh, and it’s eco-friendly.
3. Clean your drain
Consider keeping some crushed eggshells in your sink’s strainer – they’ll add another level of straining, and as they break down, they keep the drain and pipes clean.
4. Help seedlings grow
Fill shell halves with soil and add your choice of seeds, place in an egg carton and let it grow. Once the seedlings are ready, transplant them with the shell into your garden to give them fertile ground to start from.
5. Take the edge out of coffee
If your coffee tastes too bitter, just add a clean, dry eggshell to your filter. The shells contain calcium carbonate, which neutralizes the acidity in the coffee, thus reducing both the bitterness and acidity levels in the coffee.
6. Compost enhancer
Eggshells break down rapidly in compost piles, adding some much-needed calcium to the mix. Add the coffee grounds from #5 for even better results.
7. Keep your garden free of slugs and snails
Sprinkle crushed eggshells in your garden to deter slugs, snails, and even cutworms from eating your plants. If you have deer in the area, you’ll be happy to know that they hate the smell of eggs too.
Use apple cider vinegar to dissolve an eggshell (this should take about two days), and then apply the mixture onto the irritated area for quick relief.
9. Use the membrane
The membranes inside the eggshells are incredibly useful for a variety of home remedies:
10. Turn them into fun molds
Blow out the egg and rinse the shell, and then fill it with chocolate or Jell-O. Serve it to your guests peeled, or leave it in the shell and let them discover the surprise on their own.
