The worst case scenario if it falls out is that you will find it sitting on the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-sippy-cups-in-dishwasher#post-2776840 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 07:17:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2776840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I saw a pinterest idea to put them in a lingerie bag? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-sippy-cups-in-dishwasher#post-2776835 Mon, 02 Oct 2017 06:20:38 +0000 SweetiePie 2776835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put my straws in the silverware rack and they’ve never shot out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-sippy-cups-in-dishwasher#post-2776833 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 23:36:41 +0000 DesertDreams88 2776833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've put the straws straight on one of the spokes in the top rack, straight on one of the spokes in the bottom right, and also our silverware basket which is inside the door... They've never flown off from any of those locations </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-sippy-cups-in-dishwasher#post-2776823 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 21:59:19 +0000 fmmtk 2776823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never had anything fly off our third rack!! It is one of the features I miss most since moving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/washing-sippy-cups-in-dishwasher#post-2776819 Sun, 01 Oct 2017 20:42:18 +0000 meadow 2776819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, yes, I know this is a first world problem....but I'm thinking some mom in this community has BTDT.</p> <p>I love washing sippy cup parts in the dishwasher and dislike washing them by hand. I had been using the good 'ol Muchkin dishwasher basket which I put lids &amp; valves inside and straws in the straw holder outside. </p> <p>Then we got a new dishwasher this weekend and I am so pumped about the 3rd row. It has one of those flat drawers on the top which I have been putting spoons and sippy cup lids on. It is great not to have the basket take up a good chunk of space in the dishwasher - but now I don't know what to do with the straws. The silverware area looks like they'll shoot out.</p> <p>Anyone have experience putting the straws on the top rack? Any good hacks for keeping them from flying around the dishwasher? </p> <p>I would really be sad to have to go back to hand washing them.</p> <p>Thanks!!!! </p>
