In many work environments, the right tools make all the difference—and that includes wiping rags. Whether you're cleaning up a spill, prepping a surface, or tackling general maintenance, sometimes what you need is something simple, reliable, and cost-effective. That's where our top budget rags come in.

At A&A Wiping Cloth, we know that not every job requires premium materials. Sometimes, you just need a rag that gets the job done without eating into your budget.

Why Go Budget?

It’s not about cutting corners—it’s about smart buying. Budget-friendly rags are ideal for high-volume tasks where durability still matters, but you don’t need the added cost of specialty materials. For businesses that go through rags daily—think automotive shops, janitorial services, paint crews, and industrial workspaces—our economical options strike the perfect balance between cost and performance.

We also make it easy to buy in bulk. Whether you need just a few boxes or you're looking to stock up with a full pallet, we’ll work with you to get the quantity you need at a price that works. Distributors can set up in-house accounts for streamlined ordering and consistent inventory, while end users can grab a box or two as needed.

3. Recycled Color Sweatshirt Rags

A little thicker than our color knits, these rags are made from recycled sweatshirt material. That extra weight gives them a bit more absorbency and a sturdier feel, which is helpful for tougher messes or gritty surfaces.

What is Lint Free or Low Lint?

What is the big deal with lint free wiping rags?

What is the big deal with lint free wiping rags?

Well first off, most types of rags produce some type of lint that is left behind when being used. If you are cleaning glass, windows, mirrors, automobiles or electronics you will want as little lint as possible. There is nothing like cleaning a window and seeing lint all over it once you finish. That’s just not right! To get the best results with a wiping rag in these situations you want to use a low lint rag.

What exactly is Lint?

Lint is a small, fine fiber that detaches from the surface of cloth and yarn. With cotton a tighter weave means less lint but also means less softness. Typically the softer the item the more lint you will see. A lint free cloth is a special type of cleaning cloth that does not give up any fluff or lint when being used.

Cleaning Electronics with Lint Free Rags

It is very important when cleaning electronics to use a low lint cloth. Being free of lint means the cloth is less likely to build up a charge that can possibly harm electronic equipment. There is a concept called ESD where lint and fluff can gain an electric charge.

Cleaning Tip for Lint Free Rags

If you wish to keep your wiping rags to having low lint you need to wash them correctly. Don’t wash with other items that have lint such as bath towels because they will drop lint in the wash.
