I've just put an order in for some microfiber towels now that my stock is getting low , wanted to see how ridiculous I am in my towel consuption. Since January I've went through about 50 new towels. Mind you I don't throw them away I just set them aside for dirty work once they've gotten to the point I don't want them touching any paint anymore. My current order should hold me over for a while , 100 general purpose towel , 100 Cleaning Towels , 40 small waffle weaves , 10 large waffle weaves , 20 window towels , 50 microfiber applicators and thats about it. So whats everyone else got in their towel bin?
 
The key is to keep them separated. I mean always separated. Never wash interior towels with paint towels ect. You also need to store them where they wont get dirty. A plastic trash bag works well. Microfiber is very durable, so there is no reason why they should not last a good while. It helps to have different colors because it alows you to keep the towels separated.
 
I buy alot of the cotton hand towels at Costco those are for cleaning and wiping wax off. MF I have about 30

All in all I have 100 or so
 
AWhile back PAC had a sale....I think I bought 100, then sold some to some people....
I have about 10 windows MF's too
I have about 20 junk MF's for some dirty work

Hmm probably about 40 or so in total. I have too many junk MF. WHere did you buy wholesale?

Be smart on how you clean your MF thats all
 
I have about 100 multi-purpose non-paint 100% cotton towels that I buy at costco.

about 120 multi-purpose non-paint MF's from costco

3 velvet smooth PB glass towels

5-10 low nap MF towels for glass(I need to find a new use for these as the velvets blow them away)

1 24x36 Velvet smooth for S&W(thanks PB!!)

4 waffle weave towels(from PAC)

2 new edgeless meguiars MF's

5 old style meguiars MF's that I use to wipe down dashes

10 pak shak MF's for paint only

and about 25 other paint only MF's that I buy locally


I also have a lagre collection of royal velvets and a few charismas that I used for paint only towels for years before MF came out.
 
hmmmm....... i have...

14 regular mfs
4 WW
1 ultra fine mf
2 mf aplicators

Need a seperate washer/dryer so wife doesn't moan when I wash them.

Let's see at last count, I've got 200+ diapers, somewhere around 75 terry washcloth-size ones, about 25 terry hand-size ones, one MF, a bunch of misc ones for engines/dirty stuff, and about 20 surgical blues for the windows.
