Review on Buffalo Industries (10087PB) Recycled Multicolored T-Shirt Cloth Rags - 8 Lb by Beth Henderson

If you don't buy a lot of recycled t-shirts and shirt scraps, you should know this: hardly any of them (or these) aren't what you want them to be. You can imagine many beautiful cut out cotton t-shirts. YOU ARE NOT. Most of them are polyester blend fabrics, from lingerie to sport shirts. What does that mean? That's important because if you expect it to be good, clean, thick cotton, stop thinking like that. These (and all other inexpensive recycled wholesale rags), unless otherwise noted on the listing, do not absorb oils, water or other liquids as readily as pure cotton, so don't expect it. But listen, they actually work like "workcloths". " or rags for mechanics, rags for painters, but expect them to go through quickly, for they are mostly thin clothing and usually non-absorbent fabrics, such as cost $200 for that amount. Rags. No one will pay for them .You will find "some" clothes made out of pure cotton, but there are few. The bottom line is this. I've bought recycled rags in bulk in boxes for many years. They're as good as any. Just understand, what it really is and be realistic in your expectations. I hope this helps some of you. I recommend it and give it a 5 star rating.
