0 Chris@Adams Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I store mine in my garage cabinets closed up so they won't get dusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 SYMAWD Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I store mine in a clear sterilite 3 drawer cart. Same, except I'm onto a 4th drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fphillips Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Same, except I'm onto a 4th drawer. Well the truth is I need 3 of them lol. You can never have enough mircofiber towels and pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DaveVY Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I like to store them in a cabinet where they are protected from the dusty environment yet not totally air tight. Sometimes the airtight feature can cause havoc here in mildew prone Florida if the towels were not 100% dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Joshman3382 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I store mine in plastic containers as well. Dave has a good point though if you live in a high humility area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 camaro2ssblack Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Pads go back in the plastic baggie they came in after each use. Towels are stored in plastic totes. Applicators are put in individual ziplock bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Feets31 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I store mine like Bill does and i separate the towels by use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gen9Rolla Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I put them all in plastic totes. Microfibers in one, pads in another, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Natch02 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 All my applicators go into one tub. All the towels go into another towel. Works great for my storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DaveVY Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Found an old pic of our garage storage with some of the towels, since this pic it has been reorganized and more towels added. b_pappy and Shep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 GXPaycheck Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just make sure they are dry if you seal them up in something. b_pappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I use HDX 12 gallon flip totes (clear) from Home Depot, they are $4.50 apiece, hold a ton of towels/applicators/polishing pads, and are Made in Canada which is as close to USA as we can get.

0 neohio Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Jason, Try walmart. I purchased some clear totes from them yesterday. Steri-lite made in USA. 47qt I think off the top of my head.Bought 6 for my upcoming trip to use in the back of my truck. When I return, they will go in the garage for my supplies.

0 thatryan Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Do you wash your microfiber towels after each use, or let them dry out and reuse a few times? Do you use the revitalizer in washing machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 2quikta Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I always wash between uses, reusing just seems kind of "iffy" to me. I don't have the revitalizer, so I just use the old method of Woolite in the washing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the revitalizer, so I just use the old method of Woolite in the washing machine. I do much the same. I have a plastic bucket that I put the used ones in until there are 10-12 to wash. I wash the single soft's separate from the black towels. (OK I so have one gray single soft) I only use Woolite to wash them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fphillips Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Do you wash your microfiber towels after each use, or let them dry out and reuse a few times? Do you use the revitalizer in washing machine? I wash all my single softs and double softs after each use. I use them when I'm doing paint correcting. And I wash my blues after I do a rinseless. I usually have enough to do a small load. And yes I add an ounce or two of revitalizer to the washing machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Do you wash your microfiber towels after each use, or let them dry out and reuse a few times? Do you use the revitalizer in washing machine? This has been covered before Ryan (check the microfiber section), but personally, I have a small basket hanging on the side of my garage shelf which i put soiled MF towels in (as well as MF mop scrubbing pads for the mop, MF wax applicators, etc), and when it gets full, I take them to the basement and use my dedicated MF detergent (another brand which is equivalent to MFR&. For a normal sized load, hot water wash and 1 oz. of MFR&B is all you need, if you are doing a large load filled to the brim, put 2 oz. in. Don't overdo it because you won't be able to get all the residues rinsed out, follow the directions on the bottle. No bleach low heat on dryer setting (or air fluff if you wish), no fabric softeners or dryer sheets. I also put a half cup of vinegar in my wash load as I find it helps the towels come out more "crisp" if you will. Some pre-treat soiled MF's with MFR&B, but I ust APC as it seems to work fine for my needs. When my current detergent runs out I plan on buying 2 MFR&B's, 1 to keep in the laundry room with a self-cleaning cap on it for pouring, and 1 to keep on my shelf in the garage to pre-treat the MF towels as I use them. And yes, once used, don't reuse them unless washing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the airtight feature can cause havoc here in mildew prone Florida if the towels were not 100% dry. You can buy desiccants from a locksmith who sells safes for about 10 bucks. They can be regenerated by putting them on a sunny window sill for a day. Works great in the safe. I'm sure it would work well for MF towels as well. They last forever too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Z06Seal Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm looking for a sterile 3 drawer setup, but the only one I found is not big enough to my liking. I did see a modular one that was the perfect size, but they only had 1 left, and the other targets were out of them =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
