COFFEE
FILTERS
Who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at
the Dollar Tree for $1.00, even the large ones.
1. Cover bowls or
dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.
2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome... Coffee filters are lint-free
so they'll leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect China by separating your
good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.

cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the
wine through a coffee filter.

Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a
coffee filter.
8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a
coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

convenient wrappers for messy foods.
10. Stop the soil from leaking out
of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from
going through the drainage holes.

dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.
12. Do
you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee
filters..
13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French
fries, chicken fingers, etc on them.. It soaks out all the grease.
14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers.."
15. As a sewing backing. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for
embroidering or appliquéing soft fabrics.
16. Put baking soda into a
coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.
17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in
soups and stews.
18 Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you
add fluids to your car..
19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and
clean up small counter spills.
20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when
baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies. Saves on having extra bowls
to wash.
21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.
22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.
23. Use them to sprout seeds. Simply dampen the coffee filter, place
seeds inside, fold it and place it into a zip-lock plastic bag until they
sprout.
24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers.
Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone
book.
25. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips,
etc.
26. Great in the tool room when
separating nails and screws then use in to bottom of containers to remove
moisture and prevent rust.
