The best type of cleaning rag depends on the task at hand. For general cleaning and dusting, Lint-Free Cotton sheeting rags are ideal due to their lightweight and lint-free nature, making them perfect for glass and surface cleaning without leaving residue​.

For heavier-duty jobs or absorbing larger amounts of liquid, white terry towel rags are highly effective. Their thick, absorbent material makes them suitable for mopping up spills and cleaning greasy surfaces​.

If you're dealing with oils or tougher grime, consider coloured towelling rags, as their durability and colour can help mask stains.

Mixed white rags and Mixed Coloured rags are versatile and great for general cleaning in environments where appearance doesn't matter as much, such as workshops or garages. Their blend of materials makes them economical yet practical for various tasks​.

All of our raw textiles are sourced from within the UK and would have otherwise ended up in landfill. By upcycling these materials into cleaning rags, we give them new life, contributing to sustainability. Every batch of material arrives at our facility via an industrial laundry, where it is professionally laundered to the highest standards. This means that while the textiles aren't new, they are in perfect condition for cleaning.

Each rag is graded based on its specific properties, such as absorbency, linting, and abrasiveness, ensuring that it meets the requirements for different cleaning tasks. This process ensures high-quality, eco-friendly cleaning solutions while reducing waste.

Yes, all of our rags are reusable and washable.

All of our rags are designed to be durable and maintain their effectiveness over time. After use, they can be easily washed and reused, ensuring their longevity and reducing waste. By reusing these high-quality materials, we also contribute to sustainability by keeping textiles out of landfills.

How often you should change or discard cleaning rags depends on their usage and condition. For most general cleaning tasks, rags can be washed and reused multiple times.

On average, high-quality cleaning rags can withstand 10-20 washes before needing to be discarded, though this can vary depending on the material and intensity of use. For example, rags used for light dusting may last longer, while those used with oils or chemicals may degrade faster​.

It's important to monitor the condition of the rags. Once they lose absorbency, start shedding lint, or become too stained to clean effectively, it's time to replace them. Regular washing will help extend their life, but at some point, wear and tear will naturally occur, making replacement necessary.

By properly caring for your rags, including regular washing, you can ensure they stay effective for an extended period, contributing to a sustainable cleaning process.
