    Microfiber storage (clean)

    Hi I usually store my clean/dry Microfiber towels in a zip lock bag (plastic).
    Is this ok or not the best?

    I use plastic tubs, for me they stack better than zip lock bags, my dogs can't open them, and they don't split open like old zip lock bags do if I forget to change them over. I have six tubs, but one is for RO pads.

    I have plastic rolling cabinets and I keep the MFs in bags in the drawers. Never had contamination issues

    i prefer storage bins (more durable). if the towels aren't completely dry (moisture) when storing in sealed bags, you run the risk of mold...

    i am the jump starter.

    That’s an important warning. Mold and detailing definitely don’t mix!

    Re: Microfiber storage (clean)

    I dry my towels on a 35min. timer on low heat. They’re dry, also those bags never actually close.

    Just fold them over and put them away.



    I hate putting anything in air tight containers. Just today I found out 1 of my pads got ruined thx to being inside of a clean plastic trash can that I’ve been using to store my dirty microfibers & pads. And it’s not even really air tight but I obviously waited too long before getting around to cleaning it.

    Thank you do you clean the tubs down occasionally or no need too?
