Abstract
A plasticware retainer is provided for holding lightweight articles in a dishwasher rack to prevent them from dislodging during a washing cycle. The retainer includes a net member, a roller assembly, and connectors. A first end of the net member is attached to the roller assembly which removably attaches to the dishwasher rack. The connectors are attached to a second end of the net member to attach the second end of the net member to the rack when the net member is in an extended position over the dishwasher rack to prevent the lightweight articles from dislodging during washing. The net member is retracted into the roller assembly in a window shade fashion to remove the articles in the dishwasher rack and or storage of the plasticware retainer.
