Textile cloths are more widely recognisable as “rags”. Although this suggests an ex-clothing product, the vast majority of our cleaning cloths are ex-hotel laundry. In effect they are repurposed products.
Lint free cloths are manufactured solely for wiping cloth purposes. As they are less bulky than textile cleaning cloths you will get more individual cloths per kilogram and therefore better value for money with a lint free product. As non woven technology improves, lint free cloths are gradually looking and feeling more like textile cloths.
