If you live in hurricane country, put important papers and photos in ziplock bags the dishwasher when a storm is approaching. The home appliance is heavy, attached to the house. and waterproof, which makes it easy to find after a storm.

Tip: Store Important Items In Dishwasher In An Emergency

If you ever need to leave in a hurry because of a flood approaching, a good place to store important items (computer tower, pictures, etc.) is in your dishwasher. It has a watertight seal that will protect your items. You could also put items in your FRONT loading clothes washer. It will not work with a TOP loader clothes washer.

Very good tip! I'm not sure if it's possible to cram a PC tower into the confines of a dishwasher, but it's worth a try. :-) (09/08/2008)

You can, if you remove the racks, etc. and it really does work. (01/31/2010)
