Is your old furniture starting to look old and tired? Before you consider throwing it away, there is a simple natural solution that can revive your furniture: green tea. Yes, the green tea you drink can also be used to refresh and revitalize wood, get rid of smells, and clean fragile surfaces. This simple, environmentally friendly trick can help you save money, protect your furniture, and avoid using harmful chemicals in your house.
Here’s how you can use green tea to refresh your old furniture and give it a new look!
Repair and improve wooden furniture.
Green tea has substances called tannins that can help bring back the shine and brightness to wooden furniture. It also helps remove dirt and grime, making your wood look clean and shiny.
Materials required:
2 to 3 bags of green tea
1 cup of hot water
A gentle fabric
Instructions for Use:
Put the green tea bags in hot water for 10-15 minutes, then let the tea cool to room temperature.
Soak a gentle fabric in the tea and squeeze out the extra liquid.
Carefully clean the wooden furniture with a wet cloth, paying attention to any dull or dirty spots.
Polish the surface with a dry cloth to make the wood shine naturally.
Get rid of marks on wood.
Small marks on wooden surfaces can be reduced by using green tea. The tannins in tea make scratches darker, which helps them blend in better.
How to Utilize:
Make a cup of powerful green tea and allow it to cool down.
Soak a cotton ball in the tea and gently rub it in circles over the scratch.
Clean off any extra with a fresh cloth and repeat as needed until the scratch goes away.

Old furniture with fabric covering may have bad smells. Green tea can naturally eliminate odors without using chemical sprays.
