We carry a full range of budget-friendly rags including recycled T-shirt rags, terry cloth rags, cotton shop towels, polo/knit rags, and industrial wiping cloths.

Yes. Towel Depot ships from our warehouse in Pittsford, NY (just outside Rochester) to all of Upstate New York including Buffalo, Syracuse, Albany, Utica, Binghamton, and surrounding areas. Most local orders arrive within 1-3 business days. We also ship nationwide with free shipping on orders over $150.

Most of our budget rags are sold by the bale or case. Minimums vary by product—some start at a single bag (typically 10-25 lbs), while others are sold by the dozen or case. There is no minimum cart total, but bulk orders of 5+ cases unlock additional volume discounts. Contact us for custom quotes on pallet-quantity orders.

Recycled rags (like T-shirt rags and reclaimed textile wipers) are excellent for general cleaning, oil absorption, and spill cleanup where lint-free performance is not critical. They cost 40-60% less than new-manufacture rags. For precision work like auto detailing or paint prep, we recommend new cotton or microfiber rags for consistent quality.

For auto repair shops, we recommend red cotton shop towels for general mechanic work (they hide oil and grease stains), terry cloth rags for maximum fluid absorption, and lint-free huck towels for glass and chrome cleaning. Most shops order a mix of these three types to cover all daily needs.
