Where do you store/keep all of your cleaning stuff

How does everyone store all of their car cleaning stuff? right now most of my stuff is out in the garage in some bins and then my waxes and stuff are in a cabinet inside. Just wondering cause I think I am gonna try to find a better way to keep it all. And where do you keep sponges/drying cloths and suff to keep them clean? Thanks

I have those rolling bins you can get at Wally World for $15 and store them. One drawer is for dirty towels, another is for clean towels, then the bottom would be my waxes. That way, when I detail my cars, all I have to do is to reach over and get my stuff instead of walking into the storage closet or our garage and spend time looking for it.

Since my cleaning stuff needs to be portable, I store everything in the four plastic buckets that I use to wash my car. I also use one of the handled totes to hold that majority of my bottled supplies.

I also keep a single box full of towels, but since they don't get used as often, they aren't in any special container.

I have a large 4 shelf plastic storage shelf I got for 20.00 at walmart. When you walk into my garage it looks like a detail shop. Top is waxes, polishes, car wash. 2nd shelf is for towels(20) applicator pads, chamois', detail brushes, wadding polish, on and on. Third shelf, is AT fluid, brake fluid, carb cleaner, antifreeze, oil, etc. Bottom shelf is wash clothes, big foam wash clothes, bug/tar scrubbers, etc. I think it is the perfect setup. My stuff doesn't get dirty either, I gjust put one hardly dirty towel on top of the clean one's to prevent them from getting dusty or anything spilling on them when I have parties.

I keep all of my detailing products, supplies, towels, etc. in the laundry room. Actually, the only things car-related kept in the garage are extra oil and washer fluid. Tires and cleaning supplies are all indoors.
