Because they’re lightweight, plastic dishes often flip over in the dishwasher and collect water. When you open the dishwasher door and pull the racks out, water collected in the plastic dishes spills everywhere.

How do you prevent this problem?

Use No-Flip Clips to hold the plastic dishes in place during the dishwashing cycle.

Although most No-Flip Clips are basically universal, the various clips available are designed to fit specific dishwasher models.

Here’s a list of the different types of No-Flip Clips with the models that they’re specifically designed to fit:
