Microfiber storage (clean)

[PeteT19640]

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

That’s how I store mine too.

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...

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

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.

Thanks for that do you store them in the garage or inside the house?

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

Thanks plastic rolling cabinets what do they look like, your ones?

I’m away from home right now so I can’t take a pic but at the time they were made by Sterilite and came from Target. I’ll try to remember to take the pic when I get home.

I make sure they are dry first, normally extra dry to make sure. I use a dehumidifier inside the house in a closed room.

I way of thinking they are isolated from each other putting them in a bag. I plan to put them in 3x cupboard, type with drawers, for each of our cars.

I'm not answering for Big Dave, I keep mine in totes too, and I always wash out a new tote before I use it

After I load it with towels the lid comes off long enough to grab a few towels or replace washed towels and then goes right back on so I honestly never thought about the need to clean them out

I guess it could't hurt occasionally but if you find crap in your tubs you need to take a look at your towel care and use regimen and maybe make some changes

No need to, so far. One is kept for used MFs, waiting to be washed, and even that one is still clean.
