Strength tests of Naked Binders - The Dishwasher
October 2, 2009 Written By: Naked Binder Admin
We said they are strong. You say, "how strong?". So, we had them flexed 50,000 times. They didnt change. You said, "That's nice. What about water?". We set them out for 3 hours in the rain. They were fine. We set them out for a weekend of rain, they were fine. You were still sceptical. So we put them through a dishwasher. Normal cycle, with soap (have the coffee cups in there too. We are not wasting the run) and the dry cycle. You know how hot the dishes get when you take them out of a fresh drying cycle? Try that with vinyl when you are getting rid of your machine.
Time passes.
The middle one was facing down and the water scootched it back and forth a lot (technical term). They are a bit soggy, causing the bare board to sag. They are clean, though. Bear in mind that these are bare board binders. No plastics, no vinyl, 100% recycled material, 97% post consumer waste. Admit it. you didnt think they would last at all. Neither did everyone here, though they are also worried about the coffee cups too.
So here is what happened when they dried out:
There is a little warp that can be easily straightened (these are "as is" - exactly as they dried). The main problem with washing your binder seems to be that the constant rubbing when wet can leave scuff marks. We still don't recommend this, but it does show that these binders are strong. What else would you like to know?

"every (raw) vegan--or anyone really--needs a nice binder to put his or her recipes in. You know, the ones you print off blogs or other forums? ... This would make a great gift for someone who has been eying your new healthy diet and doesn't know how to get started."
