Coffee Filters
to the Rescue! by Ann Ziegler

To some, that plain white paper that goes in your coffee pot is only a filter.
But, its uses go far beyond the coffee pot. Put those paper filters to other
great uses in your home!
- Separate china and special plates by placing a paper filter between
each plate.
- Use a paper coffee filter to clean your mirror.
- Soften the flash on your camera by covering it with a paper filter for
those close-up pictures.
- Cover your dish in the microwave with a paper filter to prevent
splattering.
- Shine your shoes with a paper filter for a lint-free shine!
- On popcorn night, use a paper
filter as an individual bowl for popcorn or other snacks - toss when finished
for easy clean-up.
- Save oil from your frying pan by using a paper filter inside a mesh
sieve.
- Taco night? Place filled tacos in the filter to act as a sleeve.
(This is great for small hands.)
- Line your plant pot with a paper filter to prevent soil from seeping
through the drainage holes.
- Drippy Popsicle? Push the Popsicle stick through a paper filter and
let the filter catch all the sticky drips. (Another great idea for small
hands!)
