    Default How to keep sippy cup valves from getting "lost" in dishwasher?

    We just switched to sippy cups and have been putting the valves in the munchkin holder thing that we used to use for all the bottle parts. But the valves still end up at the bottom of the dishwasher. Do they make a special container I can put in the dishwasher so the valves get washed but don't get lost in the dishwasher?

    My dishwasher has a flat tray that snaps to the front of the top shelf. I put the valves there & have never lost one.

    We have little mesh baskets that I love. I just looked on the BRU website and didn't see them, but that's where we got them. They're perfect for small items like valves because the mesh is fine, like a window screen but stretchy, and there's a clasp at the top.

    We use the dishwasher bottle basket since we used Dr. Brown's we always had this for all the random parts. Great for lots of little things that fly around inside the dishwasher.

    We have this set ... haven't tried the round basket yet since we're still using bottles but it's meant for sippy cup valves. The 2 rectangular baskets have been great.
