<p>Just be sure to <b>crush the shells before you sprinkle them around your garden</b>, otherwise they will break down very slowly.</p>

<h2>2. Natural pest deterrent</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p>If you find your garden infested by snails or other pests, you can sprinkle some crushed egg shells around the base of your plants to ward off these garden intruders.</p>
<p>The sharp edges of crushed eggshells act as a natural pesticide because it gets under the soft, sensitive feet of these unwanted visitors, making it challenging and painful for them to&nbsp;slink across it.﻿</p>

<h2>4. Improve coffee flavour</h2>

<div class="">
<p><p>Adding eggshells to your coffee actually makes it less bitter (unless you like it that way).<b> Be sure to clean the shells before you add them to your brew.</b></p>
<p>Eggshells are made primarily of calcium carbonate, which is an alkaline substance. This helps to balance out the acidic taste of coffee, resulting in a smoother and milder cup of coffee.</p>

<h2>5. Natural household cleaner</h2>

<h2>6. Clean narrow-necked vases</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">

<div class="">
<p>Narrow or weirdly-shaped vases can be frustrating to clean.</p>
<p>Just fill the container with water, add a drop of dishwashing liquid and some crushed eggshells into it, and you&#8217;ll be able to get rid of even the most hard-to-reach gunk. </p>
<p>A quick swirl will yield some impressive results.&nbsp;The soap will help loosen the grime, while the abrasive eggshells work to scrape it away.</p>

<p><p>They are both federal titles, however, <i><b></b></i><b>Tun</b><i><b></b></i> is considered the most prestigious award in Malaysia.

<p>Meanwhile, <b><i></i>Tan Sri<i></i></b> ranks just below <i></i>Tun<i> </i>and shares equivalent rank with state titles<i> </i>Dato&#8217; Sri<i> </i>and<i> </i>Dato&#8217; Seri<i>. </i>For example, Michelle Yeoh, <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://says.com/my/entertainment/michelle-yeoh-first-malaysian-win-oscar-award" title="Link: https://says.com/my/entertainment/michelle-yeoh-first-malaysian-win-oscar-award">who won the Academy Award for Best Actress</a>, gained the title of Tan Sri in 2013.</p>
