It is a long standing discussion: do you use rags or rental shop towels, or a disposable wiper? Do you know what you are missing if you’re not using Brawny Industrial Wipers?

Here are key points for using Brawny Industrial Wipers instead of other products:

RAGS

If you currently use rags:

• Do you know how many wipers per pound?
• Do you track the number unusable wipers?
• Is storage space a concern?
• Do you have rags lying around the workspace?
• Is there a safety concern with contaminants that could be on the rags?

Rags are generally inconsistent in size and vary in material. This difference in material creates random performance. In general, you can generally expect for some rags purchased to be unusable. Plus, bulky cases take up space and the weight of packaging is included in the purchase price.

When you eliminate unusable wipers, weight for packaging, and the risk of contaminants of buttons, zippers, or other performance deteriorating properties, Brawny Industrial Wipers become a cost favorable solution.

RENTAL SHOP TOWELS

If you currently use rental shop towels:

• Do you verify the quantity that was billed and delivered?
• Did you know there are risks of residual chemicals?
• Have you reviewed your bill for additional charges?

Rental shop towels (RST’s) can often contain residual oils or chemicals that can diminish performance. A great way to check this is to add a “fresh” RST to a jar with rubbing alcohol in it. If the RST contains residual oils or chemicals, the clear alcohol will be murky with released residue within a few minutes.

RST’s can also contain holes, strings, and even metal shavings, all of which create a potential safety risk. Another concern with RST’s is hidden cost such as surcharges and replacement costs. Make sure you check your bill; there may be extra charges driving up the cost per RST.

BRAWNY INDUSTRIAL

Brawny Industrial products are available in varying weight, grades, and sizes designed to meet needs for a variety of applications.

Consistent sizing, multiple dispensing options, and value on cost per use all combined with a clean and fresh wiper every time makes Brawny Industrial a better solution for your operation and the safety of your employees.
