Color Flannel Rags

Color flannel wiping rags are made from soft, recycled flannel garments that offer a naturally plush texture and reliable absorbency. Unlike plain cotton sheeting or jersey, flannel holds more liquid and provides a cushioned feel during wiping. These cleaning rags make them ideal for tasks that require a little extra softness without sacrificing performance. Customers who want similar absorbency in other materials can explore our heavyweight wiper options as well, such as our white terry rags.

These rags perform especially well for oil, grease, grime, and general shop messes.  Perfect for any cleaning routine due to their medium-to-high absorbency. Mechanics, maintenance crews, and industrial teams rely on flannel because it grabs and holds liquid. Unlike paper towels, they absorb without falling apart. For ultra-low-lint tasks, you can pair them with other rag types.

Each bag includes cut pieces of recycled flannel shirts ranging from approximately 12 to 24 inches. This size range gives you small-to-medium pieces that are easy to fold, layer, or use flat depending on the cleanup job. Because these are reclaimed textiles, shapes and exact sizes will vary.

Flannel rags generally produce a moderate amount of lint due to their brushed surface. It is what makes them soft and absorbent. They are excellent for heavy-duty or messy tasks where lint isn’t a concern, such as wiping grease, soaking spills, or cleaning equipment. For detail-oriented work on glass or polished surfaces, combining them with a low-lint rag type can provide the best results. This lets teams match the right rag to each stage of the job.

Yes, flannel is naturally strong and holds up well when exposed to repeated wiping, scrubbing, and soaking. These rags are popular in shops, maintenance departments, and industrial facilities because they balance softness with tough, dependable performance.
