    Towel storage

    So how does everybody store their towels that store them in the garage? We used to have a one car garage with no room so I kept them in totes stacked in my closet. Now we have a big two car and I will be getting a cabinet to put towels and other stuff in. Should I still have them in something inside the cabinet? I see lots of pictures or videos of people just stacking the towels on the shelves of the cabinet, but wouldn`t they still get dusty to some degree or would it even matter?

    I`m not interested in the plastic drawer storage things as I`ve done that and don`t like them for towel storage.

    Re: Towel storage

    I like these the door folds down, you see in the bin and are stackable. You can order from Home Depot or direct from Rubbermaid

    Re: Towel storage

    I keep my towels in plastic bins or zip lock storage bags to keep dust and contaminants off of them.

    I keep all of detailng supplies (minus polishers) in plastic bins from Target:

    Makes it easy to keep everything orgainized. Depending on the type of job i need to do its just a matter of grabbing the right bin from the basement up and then it`s up into the garage.

    Re: Towel storage

    I keep mine in plastic storage bins made by Sterilite.



    The blue container to the right of the shelving is actually a dog food container. I put my used towels in it until I get a chance to wash them.

    Each bin is marked as to what type of towels are in them.





    I actually now need one more bin for rinseless wash towels. Just bought about a dozen Eagle Edgeless from the rag co for that.

    Re: Towel storage

    I keep mine in a metal cabinet. I had them in plastic drawers (not sealing types as some use) and they do pick up debris...like when blowing out the garage.

    Re: Towel storage

    Count me as a +1 for sterilite totes. For towels, I like the ones that are about 6" deep and perfectly rectangular with a lid that snaps on. I`ll put a piece of painter`s tape on the front and label what`s in there. I`ve got all my stuff stacked on wire restaurant style shelves. I`ll try and shoot a picture tonight.

    Even in a cabinet I wouldn`t feel comfortable they`d stay debris free.

    Don`t feel bad! I go back and forth trying to decide if organizing all my detailing stuff is therapeutic or going to send me to therapy...

    Rubbermaid trash cans (on bases with casters) with lids, both in varying colors denoting the contents.

    I started off with plastic bins. Eventually transferred many to the two types of Flex detailing bags, and a kitchen trash bag. The less-used towels are still in plastic bins

    Yeah, I`ll just excuse myself from this conversation. I have about one, maybe two of your tote`s worth.
