Every once in a while, a brilliant accident happens. You know, the moment when you ran out of something and needed to finish a job, so you took a look around and grabbed the object you thought would best finish the task!

Today I received an email that reminds me of just that…a brilliant accident. I want to share with you that object and the many uses it has: coffee filters! They aren’t just for that morning pot of java.

  1. Coffee filters make excellent microwave covers for bowls and dishes.
  2. Coffee filters are lint free and are great for cleaning windows and mirrors…love
    them for this!
  3. Place filters in between china to protect.
  4. If you break the cork while opening a bottle of wine, use the coffee filter to
    filter the wine through while pouring.
  5. Place a filter in a cast iron skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
  6. Ball up a lint-free filter to apply shoe polish.
  7. They make great wrappers for tacos.
  8. Place in the bottom of planter pots before you put your potting soil in to
    prevent soil from going through the drainage holes.
  9. Place a few on a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers
    and fried chicken on them to soak out the grease.
  10. This is my favorite…instead of using expensive waxing strips on your eyebrows
    or lip… use coffee filters!

Who would of thought a simple coffee filter, that cost less than a penny a piece, would have such a
bevy of uses for such a down right cheap price!

Do you have a favorite use for the noble coffee filter? Add one to the list.
