Where should sanitizer towels that are not in use be stored?

Sanitizer towels that are not in use should be stored in the sanitizer bucket to ensure they remain properly sanitized and effective for cleaning. Storing them in the sanitizer bucket keeps the towels moist with the sanitizing solution, which helps maintain their efficacy until they are ready to be used again. This practice minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures that the towels are always ready for immediate use when needed.

In contrast, storing them on a shelf or under the sink could expose them to contaminants and reduce their sanitizing properties. Disposing of them in the trash would obviously render them unusable, which is not a practical option for maintaining sanitation standards. Keeping towels in the sanitizer bucket aligns with best practices for hygiene and sanitation in any setting that requires cleanliness, such as food service or health care.
