Towel Storage

Howdy all!

I'm having a hard time coming up with a good storage solution for my army of microfiber towels. I have been keeping them in some open bins on the shelf, but I've got a few problems:

I have to dig through the bin looking for the size/type of microfiber I need.
I want something that at least has a lid on it, but is also easy to get in and out of.
I want to be able to organize them without taking up too much space in the garage.

What kind of storage solutions does everyone else use for organizing and protecting their arsenal of microfiber?

Good Luck...I have a Bin with a Top that also has a Hinged Lid that I open to get out my Towels, but I agree with you there aren't enough Towel Storage Solutions!!

If finding a storage solution for your towels is the worst problem you have, I envy you.

I bought a MINI duffel bag for all of my cleaning supplies. It has lots of different zippers and I keep them organized that way.

I use those plastic containers target sells for shoe storage for my towels. I have like 10 or so of them and place diffent towels/pads individually and marked. Its very convenient, doesn't crack in cold weather and keeps the dust away.

I ended up going with 8 of these. They fit together well when stacked and were the perfect size to go on the shelving in my garage.

Thanks for all the feedback!
