How A Pool Noodle Can Help Organize Your Kitchen Drawers
By Will Godfrey
A pool noodle can be very useful in the kitchen — if your cutlery organizer doesn't quite fit in the drawer, a noodle can eliminate that annoying rattling sound when you open it.
Simply measure the length of the space left in the back of the drawer behind your cutlery organizer, then cut off the same length of the noodle.
Then, use a kitchen knife to slice through the noodle and wedge it between the utensil organizer and the back of the drawer. The result is silence every time you open it.
Pool noodles can also step in as a drawer divider, helping you to swiftly identify the item you need in what would otherwise be a drawer of free-roaming bits and bobs.
If you need a safe place to store knives, cut a portion of a pool noodle that will fit into a drawer, then slice it partway through to create thin slots for knives.
