With the current microfiber towel BOGO selection I thought it would be an appropriate time to pose the question..........What do you use to store your towels? I have had mine in large plastic totes but they are outgrowing their home. I picked up a chest of drawers today but am unsure if I want to use it or look at other options.

Would the cheap plastic drawers from the superstores be more practical?

Funny that you bring this up today. I have a shelving/drawer unit in my bedroom and I have only been using the shelf part to store my products.

I wanted a place to store micros and supplies as well, so I cleared out the drawers today and dedicated one to interior detailing tools, one to buffing pads one to applicators and one to my premium microfibers.

The one drawer that holds premium MF's is already almost full but I ordered a bunch more on BOGO so I'm trying to find out what to do now lol!

BTW they are stacked a few bags deep in there! I usually keep like ones together in ziplocks so no dust/debris settles on them.

I would use that chest of drawers you already have. Just be sure to use ziplocks to keep your MFs clean. It looks like a premo setup to me!

Mine are in ziplocks and in totes at the moment. I am looking to streamline the whole setup. Nice organization and towels there WRXINXS!!!

I use clear boxes too.

But as long as the MF is in plastic bags so they can't pick up splinters from the wood you will be fine.

Here's my current set up, I have the 2 stacked sterilite rolling drawers (without wheels of course) for lower end microfibers (most used). As well as a 4 Drawer heavy duty one for my quaility paint MF's

Here's a few pics :)

Is that a P21s banner I spot! BTW nice collection of microfibers. Are those all Gold Plush Jr's?

Thanks for the pics Drew! Are the heavy duty drawers the same brand as the others.

It is! it's friggin giant. And about 10 are, the rest are from Chemical guys. In all honesty they are 99% identical, just with CG being much cheaper.

Here's full view ;p

I use a plastic tote as well that also fits nicely on my detailing cart. Works well and very convenient.
