Creative and Alternative Uses for Pool Noodles

When most people think of pool noodles, the first thing that comes to mind is swimming - but did you know that there are several other creative and alternative uses for these versatile products? Here are just a few of the many fun and interesting other ways you can use your pool noodles at home, outside of the pool!

Filling Gaps in Doors: during the harsh, cold Canadian Winters, your home can feel colder than usual as a result of drafts coming through doors, especially older ones. Due to the flexible, almost spongy nature of pool noodles, they can be easily placed between your doors and your flooring to close gaps and keep the heat in!

Protecting Your Car While Parking: if your garage is a bit tight, you might find yourself struggling to keep your car door from swinging open too far and getting dinged on your garage wall. To protect your doors in a tight parking spot, cut a pool noodle in half and mount it to your wall - the spongy noodle will act as a padded garage bumper, keeping your door scratch, dent-and ding-free!
