Did you know flash drives are washable?

[Sixinthenest]

Well, I sure didn't. Instead of my usual laundry tip of 13 cents, I found my son's flash drive in the dryer. It went through a full wash cycle and a full dry.
I was very surprised that it still worked.

That's awesome. You should send your note to the manufacturer. I am sure they would love to hear about the durability of their product.
Cheers!

No way! That's unbelievable, but good to know.:hmmmm2:

With two boys, that is good knowledge to have, thanks!:)

and did you know if the plastic tip breaks off and the circuitry is still showing that it will work. I don't recommend it, and I would replace it....but don't panic if it happens to you ..it might still work.

[Sixinthenest]

Who knew they were such handy little pieces of technology?!

I try not to launder mine, but hey...it happens.

[Sew So Happy]

I have one that I use that is practically bent in two, but it still works. i just keep on using it, though. I finally did pick up another one and use both.

I'm blown away...what brand are you guys buying?? I would think with so many on the market...some are made better than others.

The machine washable flash drive is a Toshiba 2GB. Available at Office Max.

my broken stick is PNY Attache....I don't know where I got it. The tip broke off but the circuitry is still in tact.

Wow I never would of thought... good thing to know just in case.

That's great! Wish they made a washable remote control!

Yes, and of course, a washable cell phone!!!!

I hope this doesn't happen to me, but if it does, atleast I'll know it'll be okay.

Do you recommend spot remover, too? I have washed so many electronic things and have not had a successful turnout. I won't purposefully wash my flash, but hey, if it happens, I won't immediately burst into tears.
