Practical guides
Concrete tips to choose, use and dispose of your rags.
Our guides answer the questions we hear most: terry or T-shirt, how to keep oily rags from catching fire, how to store, wash and dispose of rags, and whether recycled rags beat paper. The glossary explains Québec French terms (guenille, linge, ratine) and their English equivalents. The calculator estimates your bags per month and your budget with tax.
