Rags

Cleaning Rags for Workshop, Automotive and Industrial Use

Rags are the everyday wiping cloth for jobs where paper towel is not enough. Soft and highly absorbent, they clean up machinery, spray guns and spills, wipe down tools and surfaces, soak up oil and grease, and polish automotive finishes and metals. Supplied by the carton in a range of cloth types, they suit workshops, automotive, manufacturing, warehouses and commercial cleaning. Premium Packaging supplies cleaning rags in bulk across Australia, delivered from our Sydney base.

What Cleaning Rags Are Used For

• Machinery and mechanical work, wiping down machines, tools and spray guns

• Polishing, buffing automotive finishes and metals to a clean finish
• General wiping, surface prep, spills and everyday cleanup across a site

Choosing the Right Rag

The cloth type suits different work. Cotton Mixed rags are the general-purpose, highly absorbent choice for machinery cleanup, oil and grease and everyday wiping. Flannelette Mixed rags are soft and lint-low, which suits polishing and finishing where a gentler cloth is wanted. Premium White Singlet and Premium White Towel rags are clean white cloth for jobs where colour transfer is a concern or a tidier finish matters, such as polishing light surfaces and final wipe-downs. Many sites keep a general cotton rag for the heavy work and a white or flannelette rag for finishing.

Rags or Paper Towel

Match the wiper to the job. Rags are reusable cotton cloth, strong and absorbent for heavy, oily and repeated cleanup where a paper towel would shred. For quick, disposable wiping, spill response and hand drying, kitchen paper towel is the fast option. Many workshops keep both, rags for the machinery and oily work and paper towel for the lighter, throwaway jobs.
