If you’re looking for the best cleaning rags that handle heavy liquids like grease and oil, we have multiple options for you to choose from. Heavy-duty disposable wipers, shop towels, and cotton rags are all available for bulk orders. Below are some of the features and benefits of each.

Shop Rags

One of the best cleaning rags for grease and oil is our shop towels. Shop towels are approximately 16"x16" inch squares of pure cotton with sewn edges to prevent fraying. These rags are also washable and come in either white or red. After washing, some rags may shrink a bit; this is a natural process as cotton fibers contract in hot water.

100% cotton rags are durable and absorbent. Natural cotton fibers lift and trap dirt and liquids, like motor oil, allowing you to clean up spills and remove grease from your hands. We recommend that you do not pile oily rags together on the floor, as this is a fire hazard. Instead, you can place your oily rags in a bucket of water before disposal or washing.

Our rags are available in a variety of bulk sizes, from 25-pound boxes to 50-pound boxes. We also offer large bales of shop rags, which contain 1,250 rags per bale.

Heavy Duty Wipers

For disposable rags, we have many varieties of heavy-duty industrial wipers. These wipers are similar to paper towels, but they have a soft cloth-like feel and are much more durable, making them tear-resistant even when wet. Their durability makes them useful for cleaning tools, equipment, and rough surfaces. They are also solvent-resistant and non-abrasive on soft surfaces.

The wipers come in a variety of put-ups including high-capacity rolls, dispenser boxes, flat packs, and quarter-folds. The jumbo rolls can each be placed in a wall or floor dispenser. This makes them easy to use as you won’t have to restock the rolls as much, which may help improve employee productivity and time management.

Cotton Rags

Our low-cost cotton rags are soft and absorbent and available in many different styles. Popular options for wiping oil and grease include terry toweling and t-shirt rags. Both styles are available in white or mixed colors. 

Our t-shirt rags are low lint, economical, and available in both new and recycled options. Our large piece terry toweling rags are available in a recycled option only and are great for wiping or drying larger surfaces areas. Recycled rags are already broken in, making them highly absorbent for immediate use right out of the box. Our cotton rags are sold in bulk in either 25-pound boxes or 50-pound boxes.
