Official "How Many Microfibers do you own" Thread

[Ricky Bobby]

I thought this would be a good idea, just to see how Crazy we all are, because although we know we own a lot of microfibers, how often do we actually count them!  Now, for ease of simplicity, I will break it down by size and specialty, I think if we break it down by each type (single soft, double soft, waterless towel, glass towel, great white) it will have a million categories, but I'll make an example:

 

16x16 All purpose/medium nap towels or glass towels = # (utility towels, blue borderless, silver supreme, and any other medium nap towels would go in this category, yes you can even count your "cheapo towels")

 

16x16 Plush nap towels = # (think single soft, double soft, etc)

 

16x24 towels = # (these aren't as popular of a size but I think some might own a few)

 

Any Larger size will be categorized as Drying Towels = #

 

 

If this thread takes off, I'll go home tonight and break out my totes and start counting towels

Honestly I have no clue. I purchase so many double soft, single soft, waterless, waffle weave drying & glass jumping all over the daily specials and package deals I just completely lost count..

Still have a lot in the original packaging. Gave a few as gifts to my brother and a couple friends.

[BKazzle]

Feel like I never have enough...

 

I'm in the middle of figuring out my how I want to redo the storing of my towels because I'm not a fan of my system right now. Figured I'd take a pic for this thread.

 

Looks like I have about 26 Adam's towels: give or take a few.

 

Cool thread idea...love seeing collections from other people.
