Make use of Pool Noodles effectively in our daily life

1 Line-dry clothing sans creases 

This time of year, you prefer hanging your clothes outside to dry—if only the clothespins you use didn’t leave awkward-looking creases or indentations in your garments. The easy solution: Cut a slit along the side of a pool noodle, slide it over the clothesline and drape your clothes over the noodle. This will allow your clothes to hang-dry outside—smoothly!

2 Stop silverware from sliding

The organizers in your kitchen drawers keep silverware tidy, but they tend to move around every time you open or close a drawer. What can help: Measure the distance from the back of the organizer to the back of the drawer. Then cut a pool noodle to size so it fits snugly in the empty space. The organizer will stay put. Problem solved!

3 Easily fill a large bucket 

You need to fill up a utility bucket, but it’s too big to fit under the faucet in your sink. To the rescue: a pool noodle! Simply set the bucket on the floor, slip the noodle over the faucet and run it down to the bucket. The noodle acts like a hose, funneling the water to flow right through it and into the bucket.
