An apparatus for securing items to the drum of a washer or dryer includes a plate with a first finger lift and a second finger lift, strap apertures, cutout portions, coupling apertures, and a drum coupler. The first and second finger lifts may protrude from the plate, allowing a user to pull on and detach the plate from the drum. The strap apertures may receive straps therein so as to couple an item, such as a shoe, knee pads, cap, etc., to the plate. Further, the coupling apertures may comprise protrusions to receive a bracket, which may be pivotally coupled to the coupling apertures, allowing the bracket to pivot.
