Spray bottle storage ideas

**AndyC_1** · 04-29-2005, 07:47 AM

As I guess many of you will, I`ve accumulated a lot of spray bottles (QD, APC, tyre cleaners, glass cleaner etc etc) and they`re currently all in the bottom of one of my cabinets which is a PITA to get them out, put them away again.

Maybe I`m just lazy but has anyone got/seen any kind of storage solutions anywhere? I do have some spare timber and planned to build a shelf across the back of my workbench but before I do anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks guys.

What I do is hang then by the trigger on my garage shelving. I have the gray closet maid shelving that can be purchased at Home Depot & Lowe`s. See link below for an expample:

Mine hang by the trigger off an old towel rack.

I`ve been trying to find a cabinet / bottle rack for some time now. One that`s about 4" deep, would hang on the wall & has doors. That way I could store aerosol bottles as well as trigger sprayers.

I`ve seen the ones for race trailers, but don`t want to drop $200 on a small storage cabinet. I`ve thought about just buying a standard wall cabinet, slicing down the sides & shelves & reattaching the back of it.

Anyone seen anything like I`m describing?

I store mine in milk crates. You can also find a milk crate style container at staples used for files that stack.

I used to make these racks, but stopped due to low demand. :hm If there was a need, I could probably have a dozen or so made for the Autopia guys? I`d guess that this size would run around $200 or so, but if it was just powdercoated it could be significantly less (this was 1/16" thick stainless).

Let me know, drop an e-mail and we can work something out...

Thanks for the posts. Now the trick is to find these without the Griot`s RIDICULOUS markups

Based on gsxrgessler`s post, his bottle rack was $200 for 12 holes (which I noticed griot`s products sitting in it :chuckle: ). 4 of the 3 hole racks will cost around $90 at griots. Given that they are just coated, not stainless...

All my stuff gets stored in my closet inside during the winter. Here`s my setup right now. A few of my sprayers don`t have enough room between the sprayer handle and the head to fit over the bar, so they have to stay on the floor.

My clothes hangers are on the other half of the bar.

And the latex gloves on the coat hangers are my QEW gloves.

Sell them all and just by some Mr Sheen

:think: :nervous:

I bought some cheap plastic (milk carton type) holders from one of One Pound shops

I found a great solution. I have metal pegboard in my garage so I tried the screwdriver racks for pegboard. They work great. I hang the bottles by the trigger.

Try this site. I`ve bought narrow wire racks for my garage that I could not find anywhere else. Reasonable prices as well but you need to spend time searching.

I spent a lot of time searching for storage cabinet options for my garage also. I wanted a cabinet in lieu of shelves for the reasons others listed, i.e they are enclosed so it makes the garage look cleaner and the items don`t collect dust.

The best deals I found were at a company called Dallas Midwest. They provide furniture to schools, chruches, etc. Here is a link to the cabinets: Dallas Midwest Cabinets .

In the end, I purchased the full height Sears Craftsmen cabinets like the ones posted earlier. The advantage they have is that you can store cans, bottles, etc. in both doors. Downside is that I wish they had more shelves as purchased. You can buy extras. They also have to be assembled.

If you watch for sales, they can be picked up for ~$250, which is what a good cabinet from an office supply store wil cost. YOu can also sign up for the Craftsmen Club which has regular sales.
