While traditional rags can still be found in many manufacturing sites, there is a safer and better way to wipe claims Kimberly-Clark Professional manufacturer of the Wypall X80 cloths.

The Wypall X80 Cloth range has recently been enhanced at no additional cost to the customer; the cloths continue to be manufactured from Hydroknit Material which provides a soft, real, ‘cloth-like’ look and feel. Wypall X80 Cloths are now 40% thicker, providing better protection for workers’hands. As a result each cloth now absorbs 10% more oil and grease than before, as well as absorbing water 20% faster.
