1- Recycle eggshells to clean your pans

The shell is made up of a series of organic materials that, thanks to their abrasive properties, act as a cleaning agent, especially degreasing the bottom of a pot like baking soda . To use the remaining peel , it must be ground in a blender until a homogeneous powder is formed. Using a cloth or sponge and soapy water, all you have to do is rub your dishes to make them shine. A compelling argument for saving the shells of your hard-boiled eggs!

2- Use this organic matter to produce seedlings

If you want to germinate indoor or outdoor plants without plastic pots – ecology obliges! – will be delighted to discover this trick. Growing a plant in half an empty eggshell is the best option for eco-friendly planting. To do this, you need to fill it with soil and add the seeds. We recommend that you place these half-membranes in their boxes and wait until the plants have grown sufficiently. Once you have placed the shell in the ground, it will decompose and provide the soil with the calcium carbonate necessary for the growth of your young shoot.
3- This organic material is perfect for your laundry

Instead of using chemicals, opt for crushed eggshells right in your laundry. It can have a significant cleaning effect, especially on your white laundry , to preserve its color . It is enough to throw the shards into a net together with a slice of lemon, a very effective citrus fruit for bleaching linen. Your laundry is whiter than ever!
