Life in our north Texas area is so busy; life is hectic all over and there’s no way around it.

As your Dallas Household Tips ExaminerI search for tips for myself and pass them along to my readers.
Here are some great ways to re-use your tea bags!
- Remove microwave odors: Get rid of that nasty smell in your microwave by boiling some tea! Just add 2 used or new tea bags to a coffee cup filled with water. Stick cup in microwave and run for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. The tea bags will absorb the odors for you.
- Freshen up kitty’s litter: After you enjoy your cup of tea, let your used tea bags dry. After drying thoroughly, cut open tea bag and mix contents into kitty litter. The tea will help neutralize the odors and allow you an extra couple of days between cleanings.
- Soothe razor burn: cool your used tea bag and apply it to your skin to calm the painful sting of a nick or razor burn caused from shaving.
- Help for puffy eyes: the healing power of tea helps get rid of dark, swollen, under eye circles too! Just keep your used tea bags or steep 2 bags and let cool. Place tea bags over eyes and then sit back and relax for about 15 minutes. The make up of the and caffeine will work together to reduce the puffiness.
