Other Uses for Coffee Filters

Coffee Filters are lint free, so they are good for many things. Here are some ideas:

Buff your shoes

Dip a coffee filter in water and wrap it around a plant stem to keep the plant moist or line a wet coffee filter around a planting hole before adding your seedlings. The coffee filter holds moisture and deters cutworms

Clean eyeglasses or other lens, mirrors or windows

Make nail wraps by cutting a piece of coffee filter to the size of your fingernail and adhering it to the nail with a drop of Crazy Glue

A coffee filter can be used for a make shift dust mask

Use a coffee filter to filter broken cork pieces from a bottle of wine

Protect your good dishes by placing a coffee filter between them

Cover food with a coffee filter when you cook them in the microwave

Place chopped food in a coffee filter when you need to weigh it on a kitchen scale

Hold tacos or sloppy joes, or poke a hole in the coffee filter to put a popsicle stick through to catch dripping ice cream. Also good to serve popcorn or other snacks to children

Use it to strain sediment out of liquids such as cooking oil, homemade wine or jellies, etc.
