10 Brilliant Things You Can Do With Your Coffee Filters

Do you know what the best thing about life hacks is? It is the ability to make use of most (if not all) of your household items in the most inconvenient way. In fact, they can be more useful than their intended purpose and will definitely help us when we lack the appropriate tools.

Anyway, it is time to make use of all the coffee filters that you probably have hundreds of at home, or you don’t, not if you are as addicted to coffee as I am. You should always keep a package of coffee filters at your pantry because they are extremely useful when it comes to chores and other things.

Even if no one at your home drinks coffee, it is still a must to keep a package or two, and also, they are very cheap…

So, what do you think those coffee filters can be used for?

Well, I am glad you asked because I have prepared a list that will definitely surprise you and lead you to start having a life that is never free from coffee filters.

Grease pans

Let’s start slow and talk about ways you can put grease into your baking and cooking pans. It is not a big of an issue but that does require a special tool in order to spread that grease equally and as it is supposed to be without leaving any residue.

Simply, dip the filter into softened butter or a bit of oil, and then rub all around the pan, and then throw the filter away. And there you go, you don’t even have to clean any kitchen tool.

Soothe puffy eyes

After a sleepless (or overslept) night, it is normal to wake up with puffy eyes. In fact, you can wake up like that even if you had a well-rested night… Our eyes just tend to become puffy.

The best way to soothe them is by getting a coffee filter, soak it in plain water or in brewed tea (chamomile is the best option), put it in the fridge, fold the filter up, and then place it on your eyes. It will feel like a cold, soothing compress that somehow get rid of all tiredness and itchiness. Ahh!

Control Odors

Do you know what the best way to control the sweaty odors of your gym bag is?

It is by getting a coffee filter and adding a few tbsp of baking soda into it, closing it, and then securing it with a rubber band. You can then place it anywhere you want to eliminate the bad smell: gym bag, shoes, fridge, closets, or anywhere!

In case you want to add an extra smell, put a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the sachet and you will notice what a great addition it was!

Protect dishes

There is nothing worries us more than having our nice, expensive dishes to get scratched or broken when we stack them in their place.

You can easily protect them by creating a shield using the coffee filters; just stack them between each dish. Many people are still not aware that these filters are surprisingly strong to handle the movement of the dishes, and yet, they are soft enough to protect them (or even cause) any damage.
