But for many of our customers, lint matters even more. Fortunately, when you buy quality products, you don’t have to put up with a lot of lint when you buy more absorbent rags.
Whether it’s a bath towel, hand towel, washcloth, or disposable wiper, you’ll want to know that the items you purchase are going to absorb perspiration, water, and other liquids.
Generally, to measure absorbance, you should consider the pile or loops of the towel, as well as the type of thread used. The number of loops, the length of the loops, and the density of the loops all affect a towel’s absorbency.
The longer the loops, the more surface area a towel has, and therefore, the more absorbency it has. Similarly, longer, more fibrous threads give a towel more moisture absorbing ability.
Our white full terry bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths are high absorbency towels that are ideal for drying and cleaning in locker rooms, at spas and salons, and for car washes.
Disposable cloths can be more convenient and more economical than cloth towels for many applications. We’ve found that our White Airlaid Flat Pack Wipe has the feel and absorbency of cloth without the cost.
Because they are soft, Airlaid Wipes can be used for personal care or as washcloths in gyms, fitness centers, and healthcare facilities. Because they are so strong and absorbent, they also make excellent wipers for industries dealing with solvents, thinners, detergents, oil, and grease.
Most cotton cloths will produce at least some lint. For some jobs, such as finishing furniture or floors, excessive lint is a bigger problem than average absorbency. For these applications look for rags with tighter weaves. Those produce the least amount of lint.
To get a cloth that produces no lint, you’ll need to get away from cotton products. For example, these tightly woven cloths aren’t as soft as cotton, but they’re 100% lint free.
Microfiber offers a nice in-between: High absorbency with very low lint.
Now that screens are everywhere, screen cleaning is no longer confined to the office. Most workplaces use touch screens throughout the day — from clocking in to managing inventory to tracking the production process.
Just like personal devices, workplace touch screens need to be cleaned regularly to prevent the spread of germs and to keep the screens working properly. But industrial cleaning products can make these screens less sensitive to touch which is frustrating to everybody.
Plus, cleaning rags that create more static on a screen simply make the device more prone to attracting dirt and grime.
We recommend keeping microfiber cloths around for screen cleaning. Start by wiping screens with a dry microfiber rag. For stubborn spots, spray your microfiber rag with a few drops of eyeglass cleaning solution and then wipe the screen gently.

By eliminating boxes in favor of compressed cubes, you can not only reduce the volume of space needed for shipping and possible storing, you can reduce your shipping costs and provide better protection for the cloths you purchased.
In other words, compressed cubes will protect your cloths from water, moisture, and dirt much better than standard boxes.
How does this process work? By removing as much air as possible from the packaging. Maybe you remember when grocery stores sold coffee in compressed air packages? Some still do. With air removed from inside the packaging, the contents weigh less and the package is smaller. And, the package’s contents stay in the same place throughout the shipping process. That way they arrive neat and orderly.
This idea has caught on in other types of packing. For example, Amazon, REI, and other retailers sell luggage that allows the air to be removed. In some cases, removing the air can make the bag small enough to carry onto a plane rather than checking. These products are becoming more popular for travelers.
When it comes to shipping rags, optimizing packing space creates smaller volume packages which cost less to ship. But the advantages continue after your packages have arrived: Your product takes up less storage space in your warehouse or cabinets, creating more room for other supplies.
Getting more rags in the same space can also allow you to order larger volumes less often. This can free up employees’ time that’s usually spent loading and unloading shipments. This process can also save time spent on breaking down and recycling large cardboard boxes.
