My file folder method keeps my dish towels organized – all you need is a Dollar Tree buy, the key is to go vertical

IT’S time to take your dish towel drawer from cluttered to coordinated – all you’ll need is one Dollar Tree buy.

Doing chores might not be your favorite thing, but the tip will at least make finding your cleaning cloths a bit easier.

In a viral TikTok, Kelita Routledge (@kelitaroutledge) shares her Dollar Tree container tip for organizing all of her kitchen towels.

While the find comes in various sizes, the deeper containers make arranging everything extra manageable.

The size of your drawer will also determine how many towel-holding buys you might need.

Four containers seem to be standard, however.

And don’t just pile your towels on top of each other.

Rather, the “key” is to stack them “vertically.”

First, you’ll want to fold your towels in half.

Repeat this action one more time before folding the towels into thirds.

This “file folder” method allows all of the towels to fit “perfectly” standing up.

While you can organize your way, the containers are ideal for drying towels, dish cloths, cleaning cloths, and aprons.

Many of her fans were floored by the container trick.

“I think this is a great idea, especially with your holiday towels – spring, summer, fall, and winter,” said one follower.

Others also enjoyed the tip even if they weren’t a container candidate.

“I think your hack is awesome and looks a lot neater and more organized. I wish my drawers were big/deep enough to do it!” said one viewer.

Still, others shared their own ideas.

“It’s better to use straight-sided bins,” said one follower.

“Fold them for smooth edge up,” another viewer chimed in.

“So every time I try to close the drawer and that one towel gets caught – going to leave it the way it is,” joked one follower.

Those who want to try the technique for themselves can find a similar buy from Dollar Tree.

The Essentials large rectangular drawer organizers sell for $1.25 each and have rave reviews.

“These items are good for organizing my drawers and toolbox. It is thick and durable,” wrote one buyer.

“These are so great, I use them for my bathroom drawers to hold electric toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.,” said another purchaser.

“Keeps my drawers in good condition with no water getting on the wood drawer bottom,” she added.
