After eating bananas, many people still throw banana peels in the trash out of habit. However, banana peels have many uses in daily life. If you keep the banana peels and soak them in water, they will bring more benefits. Specifically, banana peels soaked in water bring the following benefits:

Flower fertilizer

Banana peels are rich in potassium, which promotes the growth and development of plants. Using banana peels as fertilizer will prevent the roots from rotting, which is beneficial for promoting flowering and fruiting of flowers and plants.

However, you should not apply banana peels directly to the soil because it can easily burn the plants. Instead, you should chop the banana peels into small pieces, put them in a bottle and add a little water to it.

After soaking the bananas in a bottle of water, leave them for about 2-3 days to ferment. At this point, the nutrients in the banana peels will dissolve into the water and you just need to use this fermented water to water plants and flowers.

Cleaning leather goods

Almost every family has a few leather items such as shoes, bags, sofas, etc. All leather items need to be carefully cared for, otherwise they are very susceptible to mold and dirt. Even the leather will crack.

Banana peels are considered a natural "polish" that can clean stains on leather goods. The reason is because banana peels contain a lot of tannin, which has the effect of cleaning stains and polishing leather goods. Therefore, if the leather items in your house are dirty, use banana peels to wipe them, you will see the leather is bright as new.

Remove ink stains on tables or walls

If ink or ballpoint pen stains are on the table or wall, it is very difficult to clean with normal water. In this case, using banana peels will be more effective. Because banana peels contain natural oils, which are very effective in dissolving ink stains, you can directly use banana peels to wipe ink stains. Next, you use a paper towel to wipe it clean and the ink stains on the wall or table will be completely removed.
