Pure 100% cotton rags with zero polyester content. Our cotton rags absorb solvents, oils, and water without leaving lint or synthetic residue — essential for precision cleaning in manufacturing and finishing.
Polyester blends shed micro-fibers that cling to painted surfaces, leave residue on optical components, and contaminate solvent recovery systems. 100% cotton eliminates these problems entirely. Cotton fiber absorbs 27 times its weight in water and performs equally well with petroleum-based solvents — without the static charge that polyester generates around flammable liquids. Our cotton rags originate from t-shirt and knit production at Honduran mills, where the base fabric is already pre-washed and softened during the manufacturing process. This means you get broken-in cotton from day one, not stiff new cloth that needs conditioning.

Acetone, MEK, toluene, and lacquer thinner cleanup. Cotton doesn't dissolve in common industrial solvents the way some synthetics do.
Pre-paint wipe-down, adhesive prep, and degreasing. Zero lint means no contaminants trapped under coatings.
Equipment cleaning where synthetic contamination affects test results. Cotton is inert with most reagents and leaves no fiber residue.
Machine wipe-down in food packaging facilities. Cotton rags don't introduce microplastics into environments near food contact surfaces.
Manual sorting process ensures purity and consistency in every shipment.
Container-ready logistics via Puerto Cortes for worldwide delivery.
Trade agreement benefits for USA-bound shipments. Duty-free eligible.
Full support in English and Spanish. Response within 24 hours.
Yes. Our W1 (white) and W2 (color) rags are cut from 100% cotton knit fabric — jersey and fleece from Honduras mills. We sort separately from poly-cotton blends (sold as W3) to guarantee purity. Each bale is labeled with fiber content.
For motor oil and hydraulic fluid, our W2 color cotton rags offer the best value — they absorb identically to white rags but cost less since color sorting is simpler. For environments where you need to see contamination levels (print shops, labs), use W1 white.
Cotton absorbs more liquid per gram and handles solvents that degrade microfiber. Microfiber excels at dust capture on dry surfaces but breaks down in petroleum solvents. For industrial wet cleaning, cotton outperforms. For final dust-free finishing, microfiber has the edge.
