Buffalo Industries (10525) Absorbent White Recycled T-Shirt Cloth Rags - 50 lb. box - For All-purpose Wiping, Cleaning, and Polishing - Made from 100% Recycled Materials

User beware. Do not use for anything that you care about. Polishing, no. Staining, no. If you do not inspect each rag you might get one with buttons or other hardware.

If you guys don't buy many recycled tshirt and shirt rags, one thing you should know is that hardly any of them (or these) are what you might picture.. You might picture lots of nice cut up cotton t-shirts. THEY ARE NOT. Most are polyester blended garments from the underware to sweat shirt garments.Whats that matter? It matters because if you expect these to be nice pure, thick cotton, stop thinking that. These (and all other bulk low priced recycled rags) unless specified in the listing, will not easily absorb oils, water or other liquids like pure cotton does, so don't expect that.But listen, they actually do work as "work rags" or mechanics rags, painters rags but expect to go through them quickly because they are mostly thin garments, and simply aren't usually absorbable fabrics such as a box full of Gildan ultra cotton tshirt rags, which would cost 200 bucks for this amount of rags. No one is gonna pay that.. You will find "some" pure cotton garments, but not many.Bottom line is this.. I've been buying recycled boxed rags in bulk for many years. These are as good as any other ones out there. Just understand what these really are and be realistic in your expectations of this. Hope this helps some of you... I do recommend them and rated 5 stars.

When I opened this bag of rags I was a bit disappointed at first because they appeared used. I started to complain to my husband and he says "they're a bag of rags. Were you expecting them to be brand new?" Hmm I guess not. He had a point. Yes they're stained and discolored, but at least they're clean. Just like the description says, these are recycled materials (seems to be mostly t-shirts), which are basically what rags are. At least I received all cotton ones and nothing made of lace or some other unusable fabric. My critique though is that I wish they were more uniform in size. Some were really large and some really small. Also there were only about 10 in the bag. I guess that equates to 1 pound, but this is way overpriced. My husband actually laughed at me for buying rags to begin with. He said he had plenty of old shirts we can rip up. Doh! Lesson learned. I debated whether I should give this 3 stars, but I have to give 4 stars because the product itself is exactly as described. I won't be buying it again though.

This is a pretty good deal. 8 lb rags are more than you think. The box they come in, you can put a hand size hole. Put up on a self. Just reach in and get what you want. For the price you don't have to be real wasteful. I've bought regular mechanic rags. 1st thing is there expensive 2nd when you try to wash in the machine. Your wife will get you. She has already grabbed her a handful of these to use in the house. Pretty good deal!

Pretty much got these rags so my wife can stop cutting up our towels.... the rags are now used for my work in the garage and excellently for what I need them for and the towels still getting cut...

They aren’t brand new rags but still to close to new. When using solvents or epoxies, the chemicals on brand new rags these days can interfere with the bonding or chemistry of epoxies if the solvent removes stuff from the rag and leaves it on your work surface. I’m just not sure about these.

I love tinkering around with old bikes and an that's always a fine mess. This is ideal for those little spills or even for polishing the gas cap. Nothing great but it's what I need.

Not cut into squares. Simply a bag of old sanitized t-shirts cut up with size tags still attached. Recycled is the best part. But shipping these from India kind of offsets any benefit from recycling due to shipping impacts on environment. At best one is helping someone in India, but I think the environmental offset is lacking in terms of being a sustainable product.

The box was much larger than I expected. I had to extract a small amounts of rags and fit them into our allocated bin for rags. Typical, we need rags when we are in a hurry or need to clean something. So I ended up cutting the rags in two sizes, small rag and large rag (double the size). I am glad I did that as there were still clothing labels and price tags on some which might have scratched the surface by accident. There's even a skimpy lace top in it which is quite useless. Makes me feel like I've bought a bunch of used clothing from Salvation Army. Fortunately, they are mostly white or off white. Well, this box is going to last quite some time I think.

My family was spending way too much money on paper towels, so I decided to purchase this box of rags to see if we can cut some costs. So far, it's been working to save us money.The box is larger than I expected, but I've never really purchased a box of rags before.The rags themselves are white, and made from discarded t-shirts - the sizes are completely random, but they work as intended. Some of the rags are a different type of cotton, and some even still have the washing instructions from their former self. No biggie - me and the kids get a laugh out of it.These are easy to wash and seem to be pretty durable, too.I'm sure these are going to last a very long time, but I won't hesitate to order another box when I need to.

Someone, somewhere, took the saying "went from rags to riches" too literally and designed this products.Details: It's a box full of rags made from reclaimed t-shrits. They are of uneven size and you get a bunch of them. They collect dirt, grease and grime faster than bubblegum on a coal miner's shoe.I really hole someone steals my review whole cloth.

I was disappointed. Such a small bag with used rags.

No longer come in boxes? A little disappointed.
