I was at a friend's house who does a lot of carpentry work and noticed he had this big bag of used (but clean) surgical rags (blue in color, low lint) and thought it might be something you guys would be interested in. I know you wouldnt use these rags on paint but for those jobs where you know you're going to throw away the rag when your done you can't beat these.

$43.00 for approx. 170 rags. Sold by the Lb. it's a 20Lb bale of those rags.



Not sure if this is old news for those in the prof. detail biz but I thought i would pass the info along just in case. This place also sells old & new t-shirts as rags as well as flannel shirts as rags - tshirt rags are a lot cheaper than $43.00
 
Most likely those are very similar to the blue huck towels from WCD. I have a couple dozen blue surgical rags that my friend's wife (nurse) got for me, and the blue huck towels are absolutely identical. I was dissapointed to see that, since I've always just used the surgical rags to soak up oil.
 
sounds like a decent deal. However, I was able to get a bag of 48 small terry towels from sam's club for about 12$. so the price comes out to be very similar, any reason to go for these instead?
 
whiteMAX that's exactly what they are the blue huck surgical towels. I took a few home and thought they worked great on the outside windows since there's a bit of texture to them they have a scrubbing effect.



They are good as engine rags, simply toss away when done and they do absorb a lot.
 
They do work well for windows IF the windows are in the sun. That way you just have to get most of the water, and the thin film left behind will evaporate. If you're cleaning the windows in the shade, a MF cloth works better.
