Local product · Laval, Québec, CanadaReclaimed textiles,
reborn as wiping cloths.
Wiping rags and shop rags from recycled cotton — washed and bedbug-treated, available in white or colored, in 25 lb bags. Sorted and packed in Laval.
Before it's gone, one last useful job.
A T-shirt or towel too worn to resell usually ends up in the trash. We give it one last useful step: becoming a rag that works in a garage, a factory or on a job site, instead of going straight to landfill.
Worn
The garment is used for years, then donated or recycled.
Recovered
Too worn to resell, it is recovered instead of thrown away.
Prepared
Metal and buttons removed, hot-water washed, treated against bedbugs, cut ready to use.
Last use
It wipes oil, grease and paint, instead of disposable paper.
The same wiping power, without the waste.
Every bag of ECO Rags starts from cotton clothing and textiles that would otherwise go to landfill. Sorted by quality, they deliver shop-grade performance at a competitive price.

Your questions, answered.
How much do your rags cost?
$32 per 25 lb bag for colored rags (T-shirt or terry) and $42 for white (T-shirt or terry), before tax. Delivery is extra and depends on your location. See products.
What's in a 25 lb bag?
25 lb of recycled cotton rags of a single type: T-shirt or terry, white or colored. The rags are washed, sorted and treated against bedbugs.
What's the difference between T-shirt and terry?
T-shirt (jersey) is thin, soft and flexible: ideal for general use, hands and delicate surfaces. Terry (towel cloth) is thick and absorbs more: ideal for oil, grease and big spills.
White or colored?
White doesn't transfer color: for painting, finishing, varnish and light surfaces. Colored costs less and suits everyday wiping in garages, shops and job sites.
