ovesco can supply a variety of industrial rags for all of those messy industrial cleanup needs. We provide fast shipping and expert advice and have a wide range of industrial cloths available.

Some things to consider are cost, how much absorbency you will need, and if you plan to reuse it. It also needs to be a tough rag to stand up to industrial-strength jobs. These messes can be a lot tougher than normal clean-up scenarios; grease, oil, leaking machines, fire/water restoration…you get the picture.

Scanned for metal and compressed, stringent quality checks ensure the cloth is suitable for commercial purposes. Not all materials are created equal, that’s why we only source our rags from premium quality, Australian sourced used clothing that's been sorted and cut for your specific purpose. For over 60 years, we have been supplying quality material for a wide range of applications. Plus we supply them in easy-to-carry 10kg bags, with OHS in mind.
