FAQs

What is A Cleaning Rag?

A cleaning rag is a piece of fabric, often made of cotton or microfibre, used for wiping and cleaning surfaces. It is commonly utilised in domestic or commercial settings and aids the process of dusting furniture, wiping countertops, and cleaning windows. They are versatile tools in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene within a space and offer a great alternative to paper hand towels.

How do You Clean Cleaning Rags?

To clean your cleaning rags, you will need to add them to a large container filled with warm water. You will have to let them soak for at least 15 minutes. The water will remove any mould, mildew, bacteria and germs that are latched onto the rags. Rub the rag between your fingers to remove any excess dirt or grime. Finally, rinse, squeeze and let dry before reusing again, remembering to wash your hands after.

Do You Clean Industrial Cleaning Rags Separately?

Yes. It is advised that you always wash germ-ridden and incredibly dirty items like industrial cleaning rags, or items that are contaminated with bodily fluids, in a separate load from your regular laundry. This is to prevent harmful bacteria or grime from transferring onto your favourite clothes.

Why is it Called Terry Cloth?

Terry cloth gets its name from the French word "tirer," which means "to pull." This refers to the method used in its production, where loops of yarn are pulled up from the base fabric, creating a textured surface that is highly absorbent.
