I know we are all a bit snobby about our towels. I unfortunately do not have huge cabinet space so I store them in one sterlite brand pull out container. I wanted to try and use stacking containers with a flip lid or the bins that stack and you can reach in and grab anything. Was wondering if anyone has any recs for such thing.


Thanks

I'm surprised no one else has shared the bins they use?

I have a Sterilite, not sure the size. Not sure about stacking either since I just have the one but I do believe it's formed to be stacked with like bins.

I recently bought this bin from Lowes during a recent sale. It is a 30 gallon and I know they make smaller ones. The 30 gallon was skinny enough to fit thru my basement door with me carrying it and it has a locking lid as it seems all other totes/bins I have ever bought the lids easily come off. In addition, it is large enough to hold microfiber towels, glass towels, drying towels and foam pads. It is also a stackable unit.

My solution involves plastic storage containers from the hardware store, stacked into a cabinet.



I scored 50 Ford stickers to personalize each container.





I have the towels sorted into their uses including drying towels/door jamb towels/glass towels/interior towels/polish removal towels/beater towels/wheel towels/under hood towels/waffle weave towels/applicator pads/wash mitts.





At the start of a detail, I go through what I intend to do in my head, selecting the required towels and have them ready to go in this tool tote.

 
I also use the Sterilitte tubs. I like the handles and the way they lock. They stack pretty well and have handled living in a detached un-heated or cooled garage for a little over two years now.

I use just some simple plastic storage bins. Costco had a deal on a 3 pack so I have spanned them over products, mitts and towels :)
 
I also just use sterilites in the garage and keep them in my towel closet separated from the normal ones

This is just hilarious. Lol.
Steps right in and destroys all other microfiber hauls with a single picture... And that’s just what could fit in 1 photo. Lol.

DFB’s setup is also quite impressive. I’m not even a Ford guy but damn that level of organization is just plain remarkable.
 
I have old plastic tubs from random foods ie a plastic pickle jar or a cheese ball jar... Cleaned them out really well with soap and water. Very clean. Worked for me the past 2 years One day when I have room for a shelf I will get plastic tubs.
