    r-maid lid query..

    I was wondering; for those who use r-maids but don't have racks; how do you keep the lid secure? Most I see only have the latches on either side of the lid, and that leaves an easy escape in the middle section.. do you weigh it down, bungee it, or any other ideas?

    The sterilte I use has only two latches, one on each side, and the middle stays pretty sturdy. I cant lift up the middle to even a small gap with it latched. I know other people also use binder clips for extra security, and some just weigh it down with books.

    I use binder clips for my tubs two in the front two in the back and one on each side and there is no way for them to escape
