Gizmodo just posted a tip that they’ve never heard before and it’s new to me as well. Apparently a tech support rep recently recommended using coffee filters to clean the tips of your ethernet cables.
Coffee filters are supposed to be excellent household cleaners but this is the first I’ve heard them being used for tech. The same principles should apply I suppose. Coffee filters are lint free and fairly porous, meaning they should work well to scoop up dust and soak up grease.
Have any of you had any success with this one? I’ve certainly used them in a pinch to clean a glass table or two but ne’er ethernet cables.
