Other Uses For Coffee Filters

                Those inexpensive filters have more uses than to keep the grounds out of your coffee:

1. Use them to clean your cable connectors. If your internet is lagging or your TV picture is fuzzy, it might be because the connectors on your cables are dirty and need to be cleaned.

2. Use them to absorb the grease from fried foods. Put them on your plate and put your French fries, bacon and other fried food on top.

3. Use a coffee filter to cover dishes when they’re cooking in the microwave to present messes.

4. Use them to clean windows, mirrors, tv screens and glasses. They’re lint free, so they won’t leave any residue behind when you’re done.

5. Stop that popsicle from dripping all over the place. Poke a hole in the filter and put the stick through it.

6. Line your plant pots with a filter to keep the soil from leaking out of the drainage holes when you water them.

7. Put a filter inside cast-iron skillets to absorb excess moisture when it’s not in use to help present rust.

8. Separate your china and other good dishes by putting a coffee filter between each dish.

9. Did the cork break in your wine? Use a filter and filter the cork particles out as you pour.

10. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and put it into shoes or a closet to absorb and prevent nasty odors. You can even put potpourri into the filter, tie it up and put it into your dressers, etc.

11. Use them to safely store your Christmas decorations and other small, fragile items.

12. Did you run out of dryer sheets? You can put a few drops of fabric softener on a filter, rub sides together, and put it in the dryer to help prevent static cling and make your clothes smell fresh.
