Shop towels are a low lint, reusable rag that has a range of uses. They are very popular in a wide variety of industries including industrial, automotive, manufacturing, and janitorial cleaning. ERC Wiping Products provides red and white shop rags to meet customer needs. Here is more information about the various uses for bulk shop towels:

Absorbing Fluids

In the automotive industry, mechanics deal with various car fluids including oil, coolant, brake fluids, and more. Keeping bulk shop towels on hand ensures that auto mechanics always have a reliable and versatile cleaning tool readily available. Shop towels are more absorbent than paper towels and can be used to effectively clean up spills and other messes. Once they have been used to clean up any spills, shop owners can throw them in the wash for easy cleanup and reuse.

Maintenance & Repair 

Shop towels are 100% cotton, low lint, and absorbent. That makes them beneficial for maintenance and repair tasks. Red shop towels are great for wiping oil, grease, and ink which makes them popular for greasier wiping applications and general maintenance. White shop towels are ideal for maintenance of precision machines and equipment which makes them popular for repair work and manufacturing.

Wiping Down Workspaces

Automotive and industrial spaces will accumulate dirt, grease, and other debris throughout the day. A shop towel is a simple solution to help with keeping your workspace and tools clean and dry. Use them with cleaning agents like all-purpose cleaners and disinfecting sprays to increase their cleaning effectiveness.

Applying Lubricants

Lubricants help to reduce friction between surfaces and can be applied on car and industrial machinery parts to decrease heat. Shop towels work well for applying lubricants to various components. This allows manufacturers and mechanics to evenly distribute the lubricants without dirtying their hands. Due to their absorbent properties, shop towels will be able to take in any excess lubricant to prevent individuals from applying too much. 

Cleaning General Areas

Shop towels are not just for automotive and industrial spaces. They are also popular with contract cleaners for general cleaning and white shop towels make great applicator cloths. They can be used to wipe down tables and desks, soak up spilled liquids, remove dust, and apply polish/wax. 

Business and industrial facility owners can purchase cotton shop towels in two different colors to help prevent cross-contamination and define tasks. Red shop towels are great for greasier wiping applications, while white shop rags are ideal for precision wiping. Our bulk purchasing options come in boxes or bales depending on your needs.
