We use a lot of rags every day. Most industrial cleaning rags Australia you get from suppliers are rubbish. Thin, fall apart after one job, or rough and scratchy. Cotton ones work best. Thick enough to soak up oil or water, soft enough not to wreck surfaces.
If you shop for cleaning rags online, you can’t just trust the photos. Feels different in real life. Some packs look fine, but you try wiping a bench or a greasy machine, and they shred. A good rag keeps going through a few washes, and you don’t have to grab another one every ten minutes.
We use different rags for different jobs. Heavy ones for machinery, soft ones for dusting, and coloured ones for separating tasks. It’s not exciting, but having the right rag makes life less frustrating. Makes cleaning faster and stops people yelling about the wrong rag being used.
