20 Pool Noodle Life Hacks

Young man holding your cards with a pool noodle is a great idea for small hands. You gave me the idea for giving a pool noodle for cards to senior citizens with arthritis or other hand problems, great for their card games. Thank you♥️

Pool noodle split to fit over edge of a pantry shelf to keep things from sliding or rolling or falling off.

I use my pool noodles at the end of summer to wrap my outdoor pipes for Winter!

A woman asked me where I got the cushions on my walker and when I told her I cut up a pool noodle from W------ she smiled and was so happy. Anyone who has used a walker knows what I'm talking about. My knees and shins were so bruised before I noodled them. Free tip.

We have a door that leaks cold air in, in the winter. Indiana's winters are brutal. I will definitely be making the the draft noodle this winter. Thanks for the posting.

I put them in my knee high boots to keep them from bending at the ankle, a boot tree is $20 of more, a pool noodle is a $1.00 at my local dollar store and you can cut them to fit any style boot.also use them rapped with newspaper to stuff in your boots to dry them in the rainy season, which is almost year round here in Seattle.Kellyanne

I love these things. We adopted a beautiful, but young and adventurous cat. She was squeezing into every nook and cranny in the house including behind the washer / dryer and behind heavy furniture and getting stuck. Pool noodles solved that problem immediately. Now that she is older, and I have seen the video, I have left over noodle pieces and have alot of good ideas for what to do with them.

Lot of great ideas. I have one for you. I use a piece if noodle. Cut down the middle and slip over my lawn chair arms to make them more comfortable and are no longer hot from the sun. They are great to put in boots to keep them standing up as well.

I brought a 4 x 8' ft piece of wood paneling to throw on top of my little car. Put pool noodles down the edge of paneling then tied down, edges of paneling didn't get beat up and roof of car didn't get scratched. Worked great. Did it 4 more times, transporting paneling home, no pick-up truck available

I don't swim and haven't been near a pool in decades, but DAMN I need me some pool noodles. Great ideas!

I love your pant hanger idea, the ready made pant hangers are expensive, but by using the noodle method I can have 10 pant hangers for just under $2. Very innovative sir.

With the pandemic going on I cut a 12 to 18 inch piece of pool noodle cut it down the middle. Use it over the handles of a shopping cart. When finished I take it off wipe it down with a disinfectant wipe put it in the trunk for next time.

Doing in home care for the elderly I used pool noodles on the side rails of the hospital beds so my clients didn't bump their heads on them. Like you I cut and split to fit. Another project was the shower chair. The elderly get frail and thin skinned, their bodies are a boney frame. I took the pool noodles cut to length, threaded a long shoe string through them and lined the shower chair with them. Put a towel over the noodles to prevent sticking. No more sore bones.

For those who live in colder climates and experience ice and snow during the winter, pool noodles work terrific as windshield wiper blade covers! (Of course, only when vehicle is parked.)

Neat ideas. I quilt and found that rolling the top on a noodle and the backing on another noodle and float the batting in between, helps with quilting the sandwich together. I just have a home sewing machine and this by keeps the top and backing firm without pinning or basting. Love your ideas and found a lot useful. Thanks for sharing.

Thought I would share my noodle idea...cut to length. Split down the center. Wrap in a thin batting and a fabric of choice. Then slip over crib railing so littles don't chip the coating or swallow nasty stuff.

Hello again. I used a pool noodle about 10" long on a shelf end on the wall in the office which is low enough for the short people but just the right hight to bump my head. Attached to the end of the shelf by cutting it open and sliding it on the same way as your door stopper. --Also pool noodles cut to about 5" or 6" long and slid up on bed legs is a great way to save your toes when you need to find your way in the dark. Trust me thats a good one.

Your door air stopper was excellent! There’s one where you can use your noodle as an extension for filling pails etc from faucet to floors etc!

Our house that I own was built in 1913. Thanks for the sealing the bottom of a door idea. I have used foam strips with adhesive around the door frame that works pretty well. It won't work at the bottom of the door but your 'pool noodle' idea will work on both the back door and the side door. Our front door is blocked off by my wife's plants and I sealed the door in the frame with silicone caulk. There's no draft either in or out. The back and side doors both have cold air come in at the bottom in winter.It looks like I can now fix that.

I use neon yelloe over my tent lines. We camp in tight quarters so it's kept many campers from tripping. Great for awning arms, too. Saved a few bumps on heads. 😊
