   I just keep mine in large ziploc bags, if you suck the air outa them, they store smaller- but keeps em clean/dust free until use.

   Mark,

   I keep mine in a large plastic rubbermaid boxes under my workbench. I do the same for my portable power tools. They stack well, and keep the dust out. Works good for my waterstones too.

   I use a trash can- plastic for unused, metal with a spring loaded cover for anything that has oil, paint or mineral spirits on it (minimizes the fire hazard).

   Thanks,
   I throw my "fire hazard" rags outside on the back step, spread out flat after dunking them in a bucket of water. (My shop is in a walkout basement)I got the rubbermaid bin from the attic and put my clean rags in it. Works like a charm...Mark

   She Never sees it. She hardly ever goes out back except on the deck, and the basement door is 12 feet below and under the deck...Mark

   Anyone have a clever way of storing rags

   I throw mine out in the diveway on the cement over night!

     We buy 25lb. boxes of lint free rags at work. They are packed into a heavy cardboard box about like a cotton bale. Cut a hole about 8" dia. in the side and pull them out as you need them. I got an empty from work and just re-stuff it with rags I make up from home. It works great and keeps the dust and trash off of the rags till you need them.
