Shop Rags, Wipes, and Towels

Colored Cotton Rags, Low-lint Paper Wipes and Shop Towels Help Keep Your Workplace Clean

When it comes to your shop rags, wipes, and towels, there is no “one rag fits all”. Each type of rag or wiping material can be used in a variety of industries in many different ways. Regardless of the industry, no two jobs or applications are ever the same.

As an industrial wipes supplier leader, we wanted to take the time to highlight some of our most popular industrial cleaning wipes and clothes and the industry they are most commonly associated with.

Low Cost Rags

For dirty applications where a rag will only be used once to wipe something down it is best to buy a low cost recycled cleaning rag. These low cost rag options may not be the most consistent in size, color, or texture, but these rags are a  perfect disposable shop rag.

These low cost rags are popular in a wide variety of industries including wiping grease in a shop garage, cleaning heavy machinery in a manufacturing plant or general purpose shop rags. Below is a list of rags we would recommend which are all be purchased by the pound.

Multiple Usage Rags

While the low cost rags we mentioned are meant to be used once or twice and then disposed of, rags of higher quality have the ability to be used multiple times before they reached their shelf life.

The main difference in multiple use rags vs low cost rags is the consistency. The rags in this category will be extremely similar in size, texture, and color. The reliability of these will allow them to be used best for cleaning rags or whatever may arise throughout your day. Even though these rags are more expensive, the ability to use them multiple times may allow you to order less frequently and save money in the long term.

Low Lint Paper Shop Rags

While the term paper hasn’t always been associated with the shop rag industry, this category is actually our fastest growing segment.  Paper Shop Rags are a great alternative to cotton rags. With paper shop rags you know that every piece is the same size, color and strength.

We offer a wide variety of paper shop rags varying in strength, size, and dispensing form. Paper shop rags can be sold by the perforated roll, dispenser boxes and flat packed in a box. The stronger and more absorbent the wipe the better off it is to be used over and over. There is an option for everyone when it comes to paper shop rags, below are some of our favorites.
