Discover the Surprising Uses for Eggshells Around Your Home 
Think twice before tossing those eggshells in the trash! While they might seem like kitchen waste, eggshells are incredibly versatile—from garden enhancers to natural cleaners and even beauty treatments, these humble shells have a surprising number of practical uses around the home.
So the next time you crack open an egg, save those shells! You’ll be amazed at how many creative and eco-friendly ways there are to reuse eggshells instead of letting them go to waste.
1. Natural Fertilizer for Your Garden
Eggshells are rich in calcium carbonate, a key nutrient that helps plants build strong cell walls. Crushed eggshells can be sprinkled directly into garden soil or compost to nourish your plants naturally.
How to use:
- Rinse and dry the shells, then crush them.
- Sprinkle around the base of plants, especially tomatoes, peppers, and roses.
- They also help balance soil pH and deter pests like slugs and snails.
2. Pest Deterrent
The sharp edges of crushed eggshells act as a natural barrier against crawling pests like slugs and cutworms. Lay a ring of crushed shell around vulnerable plants to protect them—without using chemicals.
3. Non-Toxic Scrubbing Cleaner
Did you know eggshells can be used to scrub pots, pans, and even hard-to-clean surfaces? Their gritty texture makes them a great natural abrasive.
DIY Eggshell Scrub Mix:
- Blend dried shells into a coarse powder.
- Mix with a bit of baking soda or dish soap.
- Use it with a damp sponge to clean stubborn grime off metal, tile, or kitchen tools.
4. Calcium Boost for You (With Caution!)
When properly prepared, eggshells can be ground into a fine powder and consumed as a natural calcium supplement. They contain about 90% calcium—just one teaspoon of eggshell powder provides roughly 800–1,000 mg!
Important: Always sterilize the shells by boiling or baking them before grinding, and consult a healthcare provider before adding homemade supplements to your diet.
5. Skin-Loving Face Mask Add-In
Ground eggshells can be used in homemade exfoliating face masks or scrubs to gently slough off dead skin.
Try this:
- Mix fine eggshell powder with egg white and apply as a tightening face mask.
- Or blend with honey and oats for a gentle scrub.
6. Eggshell Candle Holders
Feeling crafty? Eggshells make charming mini candle molds. Fill clean, half-shells with melted wax and a wick to create cute, rustic candles perfect for spring decor or gifts.
7. Freshen Up Your Drain
Got a slightly funky-smelling drain? Crushed eggshells can help trap food particles and clean your pipes as they break down slowly.
