Dry every part before storing. Trapped moisture in nested drums leads to spots and odors. Air-dry the the rotary grater fully, then nest and store. Dry the rotary grater stores safely for months between grating sessions.
Protect the drum edges. The grating surfaces are sharp by design; drums knocking together in a drawer dull them and endanger fingers. Nested storage, a cloth wrap, or a dedicated container keeps this grater sharp and safe.
Keep it near the cheese zone. The rotary cheese grater belongs near where cheese is stored or served: the fridge-adjacent cabinet, the pasta shelf, or the entertaining drawer. This grater stored near its ingredients get used; rotary cheese grater stored across the kitchen get forgotten.
Store the cleaning brush with the grater. Drums clean best with their brush right there, and a brush stored elsewhere might as well not exist. Tuck it inside a nested drum so the rotary grater and the brush travel as one cheese grater kit.
Keep the suction base clean and dry. A dusty or damp base suctions poorly and can mark shelves. Wipe the base before storing the grater, and the this grater will grip perfectly next time. It is thirty seconds that pays off every use.
