Most everyday household items are known to serve other purposes. The coffee filter exemplifies this versatility better than most other household items.  

Other ways to use coffee filters:

1.    If you do not have a sink drain filter, a coffee filter will do just fine.

2.    Coffee filters make an excellent cleaning tool for glass and television screens. Just spray a cleaning agent on a coffee filter and clean anything that is glass.

3.    Coffee filters make an excellent shoe polisher. Simply apply a little shoe polish to the filter and polish away to give shoes extra sparkly shine.

4.    To use as an air freshener put baking soda or potpourri inside a filter and tie it together with a tie twist and place in a dresser drawer, bathroom, or anywhere else you want to smell fresh.

5.    Coffee filters make a great grease absorber. Use one to mop a pizza that has a lot of grease on it before you start to devour it.

6.    Coffee filters make excellent fodder for art projects. They tend to work like tissue paper but hold together better. One way of coloring a basic white coffee filter is to submerge it in a dish with food coloring and let it dry. Once you have your desired color, stack the filters and staple together, then fan out the layers. The resulting flower can be used in a bowl as a centerpiece or strung together to make a garland.

7.    Coffee filters can be used as a packing insulator instead of newspaper between dishes when packing them in a box. They are more or less the same size as a salad plate and are equally as thick as a page of newspaper.

8.    Coffee filters make excellent packing insulators for Christmas decorations.
