The downside of Shop Rags or Cloths
Rags are considered less absorbent if made of synthetics (non-cotton) materials. The downside of laundered cloths can be large differences in performance efficiency as they can be sluggish in absorbing without smearing.
Disadvantages of rags over disposable wipes (Why):
1. Rags are generally less absorbent especially if they are made of a non-cotton material, while laundered cloths often smear liquids, grease and oil, instead of absorbing them.
2. There are high hidden costs involved in the collection, counting and storage of laundered cloths.
Test and evaluate in side by side comparison to reach best overall performance for your operational and facilities requriements.

When it comes to industrial applications, choosing the right wipe for the job can make an enormous difference in terms of performance, efficiency and economy. Rags and laundered cloths were once the all-purpose solution for wiping dirt and oils from equipment and hands. Convenient disposable wipes are now widely recognized as the preferred alternative.
Selecting the right wiper
The first step is visiting what the wiper is being used for, what is the application they will be used for? Maybe able to look at what has been used in the past, what worked and what didn’t. If ,for example you saw too much lint, the remedy may bea a low-lint wiper when looking at the demand of the job. DRC Wipers are the most common, but this wiper is not always the ultimate for every application.
Heavy-duty Wipers have added strength for heavy scrubbing and may also be used for final dusting, rubbing or polishing.
Keep in mind that wipers are not the most highly absorbent product available. There are more highly absorbent products for that requirement of soaking up large quantities of liquids or spills. for that, use something like an absorbent pad or roll and finish up with a wiper.
Wipers are an excellent way to clean up, wipe off and more. Some items to consider when testing and evaluating wipers for your operation.
Low-Lint: For printing applications or work with electronics, select a low-lint
Absorbing: For general wiping needs, perhaps light applications where little liquids are present.
Moist & no liquid present: What are you wiping? Is it a rough surface with sharp edges that cn catch on the wiper. Select a high strength wiper.
What liquids will the wiper be exposed to? Knowing the types of liquids your selected wiper will be most exposed to will help us to assist you in selecting the best wipers where solvents, industrial grade cleaners, paints and finishes are present.
