For most jobs, it\u2019s critical to have a rag that doesn\u2019t leave behind pesky lint fibers that can harm your surface and create an uneven finish. <\/p>\n<p>Cleaning wipes and microfiber cleaning cloths are a simple addition to every job type and make your finished product look better than if you used something like paper towels, kitchen towels, or cotton rags. Take it from us, using items that shed, like t-shirt rags or all-purpose cleaning towels, can really hurt how your finished project looks.<\/p>\n<h2>What to consider when choosing wiping rags<\/h2>\n<p>When looking for the best rag, it\u2019s important to understand your needs and take a look at product details so you know that what you have can do the job.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/trimaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ShopTowels-1080x1080-1.png\" alt=\"rags\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" align=\"right\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/300;padding: 10px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Surface:<\/strong> First and foremost, consider what surfaces you are going to be using your rags on. Is it a smooth surface such as glass or stainless steel, or a rough piece of wood? Rags are woven and designed differently for different surfaces in order to eliminate linting. Understanding what your cloth will be used on will determine your best option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application:<\/strong> What is the purpose of the rag? If it\u2019s just for cleaning, a traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/trimaco.com\/products\/rags-and-wipers\/terry-towels\/\">terry towel<\/a> may do the trick. However, if the cloth is going to be <a href=\"https:\/\/trimaco.com\/blog\/how-to-stain-wood-using-cloth-wipers\/\">used for wiping stains<\/a> and wood staining, it\u2019s critical to use a smooth, lint-free microfiber towel that will ensure a smooth finish. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Lifespan:<\/strong> Lastly, is it important for your crew to reuse these rags? Some options have a shorter lifespan, while others can be washed and reused multiple times!<\/p>\n<p><em>*Cleaning cloths soaked with stains, linseed oil and\/or solvents may spontaneously catch fire if improperly discarded. Immediately place soaked cloth rags in a sealed, water-filled, metal container. Dispose of the cleaning rag in accordance with local fire regulations.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Lint Free Cloths from Trimaco<\/h2>\n<p>Trimaco offers a full line of rags and lint-free wipe.
