What air tight dishwasher safe containers are people using to keep documents from getting moldy?

I thought about using zip-lock bags but those apparently melt at around 140 degrees F and this safe is only rated to keep temps below 350 for an hour. I imagine melting plastic onto your important documents would be bad. Consider using sillica gel packs to reduce humidity instead? Or, I guess you could keep your docs in an envelope within the zip-lock bag so that the envelope shields your docs from the melting plastic.

That's the main reason I bought it. I used it to repair a few Food Saver containers and they obviously store liquids and solid food. Bought this DAP after reading in a forum that it was the only one that is safe around food. Yes, washing by hands or dishwasher will not damage it.

As other reviewers have said, they key seems to be avoiding the dishwasher and relying on hand-washing and immediate drying. That's what I do and I have had no problems so far.

I don't have any issues at all. I like that they seal airtight. I put the lids in the dishwasher on the top shelf. I don't know what the company says, but it's been fine for us.

Sorry, I don't know but if I had to guess, polypropylene? The bottom of the container shows a "5" in the recycle triangle, dishwasher and microwave safe, etc. Hope this helps.

Always best to stick with plastic or wood utensils. The hard anodized signature series are dish washer safe.

There is a divot, but a Q-tip (cotton swab) would easily fit in there. That said, as the others have noted, these are very nice pieces and shouldn't go in a dishwasher. They'd only take a moment to quickly handwash, then turn them upside down and use that Q-tip.

Product Description Super flexible sheets are coated with DuPont Teflon for non-stick fruit leathers, rollups, taffies. Reusable for years.These Dehydrator Sheets are easily cleaned with a warm water rinse, they are also dishwasher safe. I do find them a little thinner than the Excalibur brand. They tend to flap with the fan going when making fruit rolls.

I would try adding well filtered water to the bag you placed them in and possibly refrigerate them if you don't use them quickly to prevent mold growth from the added water. I have ordered multiple and the containers have been great but they do dry out over time.

It won't stop the mold from continuing to damage the records. It sounds like you have a moisture issue. These would help keep the cover from getting damp. But I found these sleeves to be average at best. I would look for a different company. Their sizes are all over the place. Good luck

I use mine for home made bread. Good quality, wash well - they shrink in the first wash, but stay the same thereafter; this is included in the product detail in the fine print. Its the organic bit that's probably the justification for a slightly higher price point. Personally, I put cheese in plastic too. They do not seal. The muslin are great for say potatoes, carrots and other root veg. Greens in my opinion keep longer in the fridge in plastic. You can google the best storage methods for the particular produce you want to store.

I use these for sewing items fabric and tools etc. Although the lids fit very well I wouldn't say they are airtight. I think they would keep out most bugs. I store some things in my garage. But I wouldn't swear to the kind of vermin and bugs that seem to find their way into just about everything. So far none of my fabrics or tools have had anything in the boxes I didn't put there! If you have something you need to be absolutely airtight against anything. I would recommend a screw on top container. These do though close well and no problems so far. Good luck.

I wouldn't try to use them in the dishwasher. The plastic is equivalent to disposable plastic containers. it looks like they might warp. As I want to use them with as good a seal as they can get, i don't want warpage.

I have had them for a while now, it never got moldy. Sometimes food gets stuck to the rubber that's inside the lid, but you can take them out and wash them.

I can tell you from experience that if you want longevity, spend the extra for Rubbermaid. sterlite containers are good for the short term, but you will notice the plastic doesn't hold up and suddenly you will pull it out in a few years and notice it is cracked.

I purchased the rectangular boxes and we use them for leftovers and lunches. They are also great for single serving meals that can be frozen. They are microwave & dishwasher safe! So it's a win all over :)

I now use as a pill holder, before for candy. I have washed in dishwasher. Not sure what the seal is but its a tight one.
