Ten Innovative Uses For Everyday Items
1. Coffee Filters as Cleaning Cloths
Their lint-free texture makes coffee filters perfect for cleaning glass, mirrors, or computer screens without leaving streaks.
2. Binder Clips as Cable Organizers
Attach binder clips to the edge of a desk and thread cables through the handles to keep them neat and accessible.
3. Toothpaste for Scratched Glass
A small dab of non-gel toothpaste can help buff out minor scratches on glass surfaces like phone screens or watch faces.
4. Pool Noodles as Door Protectors
Cut a pool noodle lengthwise and slip it over the edge of garage walls to prevent car doors from getting dinged.
5. Rubber Bands to Remove Stripped Screws
Place a rubber band over the stripped screw head to give the screwdriver extra grip for removal.
6. Mason Jars as Blender Containers
Many blender blades screw onto mason jars, allowing you to blend single servings directly in the jar.
7. Banana Peel for Polishing Shoes
The natural oils in banana peels can shine leather shoes when rubbed on and buffed with a cloth.
8. Old T-Shirts as Plant Ties
Cut old T-shirts into strips and use the soft fabric to tie plants to stakes gently without damaging their stems.
9. Shower Caps for Packing Shoes
Wrap shoes in shower caps when packing to keep dirt and soles from touching your clothes.
10. Cardboard Tubes as Extension Cord Storage
Store extension cords neatly by wrapping them and sliding them into empty paper towel or toilet paper rolls.
