The appropriate wiping material depends on the surface, contamination type, absorbency requirement and cleaning task.
T-Shirt Knit Rags are widely used because of their flexibility and suitability for general industrial wiping.

EcoWipePro's quality-control process covers raw-material sorting, unsuitable textile removal, cutting inspection, package-weight verification, packaging inspection and final metal detection before shipment.

Recycled cotton wiping rags require professional sorting and inspection because original textile materials may contain buttons, zippers or other accessories.
EcoWipePro applies multiple control procedures:
- Raw-material sorting before production.
- Removal of unsuitable textile materials and accessories.
- Production-stage quality inspection.
- Finished-package metal detection before shipment.
Metal Detection Before Shipment
Finished industrial wiping-rag packages undergo metal detection before shipment as part of EcoWipePro's quality-control procedure.
