[Closed] Quick plumber question - blue taps to dishwasher

If I turn the little blue tap off I can disconnect the dishwasher cold feed without water dripping but it is good enough for a long term solution or are there proper stopper plugs I can get?

Yes and yes

It will be fine as long as the valve is clean and isn't passing but if it is you can get blanking caps.

3/4 Blanking Cap

Don’t leave it uncapped for long. Whilst in theory they’re water tight, they leak often and are easily knocked open. Either cap with a 3/4” blank or turn the water off properly, drain down and fit a proper cap end in lieu of the valve.
