Coffee Filters Offer a Simple Trick for Dust-Free Homes

Coffee filters are proving to be more than just a kitchen staple for brewing fresh coffee.

According to household experts at Freundin, they can also serve as an inexpensive and effective cleaning tool.

In addition to their traditional use, coffee filters are antistatic and can be used to dust surfaces around the home.

Simply wiping dusty areas with a coffee filter can help bind dust particles as effectively as many commercial dusters, offering a budget-friendly alternative.

Coffee filters can also be repurposed as small fragrance dispensers.

By filling them with dried lavender, lemon peel, or cinnamon and tying them closed, they can be placed in drawers or closets to provide a fresh scent.

With just a little creativity, coffee filters can become a go-to tool for household tasks. They are inexpensive, biodegradable, and readily available — and now you know they’re just as good at cleaning and freshening as they are at making your morning coffee.
