Stop throwing out old hoses. Here are 10 brilliant hacks to use them around the house
Transform a section of an old hose into a practical doorstop. Simply cut a piece of hose to the desired length, and fill it with sand or gravel for added weight. Seal both ends with duct tape or a strong adhesive. This makeshift doorstop is durable, weather-resistant, and perfect for keeping doors open during breezy days.
Hack 2: Hose Handle for Heavy Bags
Carrying heavy bags can be a strain on your hands, but an old hose can provide a simple solution. Cut a short length of hose, slit it lengthwise, and slide it over the handles of your bags. This creates a comfortable grip that distributes the weight more evenly, making it easier to carry heavy loads without discomfort.
Hack 3: Protective Hose Covers for Sharp Edges
Sharp edges around the house can be hazardous, especially for children and pets. Use sections of an old hose to cover these edges. Cut the hose lengthwise and fit it over the edges of tables, shelves, or other furniture. This not only protects against injuries but also prevents damage to the furniture itself.
