Coloured Sewn Rags, 15kg Bag

Coloured sewn cotton rags, supplied in a 15kg bag. The standard industrial wiping rag for workshops, sites and vehicle bays.

Sewn rags versus loose offcuts

Sewn rags are cut and hemmed from recycled cotton garments, so the pieces come in usable, consistent sizes with finished edges. Loose offcuts shed lint and fall apart in your hand. Sewn rags hold together through a wipe, which matters when you are cleaning a machined surface or wiping down before paint.

What they are used for

• Wiping oil, grease and coolant in workshops and vehicle bays
• Cleaning tools and machinery at the end of a shift
• Surface preparation before painting or coating
• Absorbing spills on site
• General cleaning where a cloth will be thrown away afterwards

Worth knowing

Coloured rags are the general-purpose grade and are the usual choice for oil, grease and dirty work. White rags are preferred where the colour of the cloth could transfer onto a finished surface, such as paint preparation on light colours.

Rags used with solvent or oil-based finishes can self-heat as they dry. Spread them out or store them in a sealed metal container rather than leaving them bundled in a bin.
