In the cleaning and maintenance industry, choosing the right cloths makes a huge difference — for results, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and brand reputation. Whether you are a wholesaler sourcing to stock, a purchasing agent looking for the best value, or an end user (professional cleaner) aiming for the best performance — this blog will walk you through everything you need to know. In particular, we’ll highlight how the experience of a specialist manufacturer (JUHAO – 16 years in microfiber cloth production) plays a role in delivering high-quality solutions for wholesale, customization and usage.
Cloths are more than just rags. In professional cleaning, they are tools. A great cloth will:
Capture dust, dirt and microbes efficiently
Absorb liquids, grease and grime where needed
Be safe on surfaces (non-abrasive, non-linting)
Withstand repeated use and washing without losing performance
According to a fact sheet from University of California San Francisco, split microfiber is far more effective than many conventional cloths, because the very fine strands trap and remove contaminants.
If you are a wholesaler or buyer:
Quality matters: cheaper cloths may save upfront cost but may degrade quickly or perform poorly (leading to complaints, returns or switching brands)
Customization and branding can be an advantage: offering cloths in different sizes, colors, with logos can differentiate your offering
Supply reliability and experience matter: a manufacturer with long experience is more likely to deliver consistent quality, compliance, customizable options, and good lead-times
For the cleaning business or individual user:
Using the right cloth type means less labour, fewer passes, less chemicals — saving time and cost
Being able to segment cloths by task (colour-code, type-weave) improves hygiene (avoiding cross contamination) and professional image
Cloth care (washing, maintenance) is important for lifespan and performance — cheap cloths that degrade quickly increase cost per use
Here we’ll break down the key categories of cloths, with a focus on microfiber cloths (since they dominate professional cleaning). We’ll highlight what to look for, what tasks they suit, and what you as wholesaler/buyer/user should know.
Microfiber is a synthetic fiber finer than one denier; in cleaning cloths it is usually a blend of polyester and polyamide/nylon.
When the fibers are split they create many fine filaments that trap dirt, liquid and microbes effectively. According to the UCSF fact sheet: “split microfiber … 200 times thinner than a single human hair … become much more absorbent.”
They leave little to no lint, dry quickly, and can reduce chemical use (because of higher efficacy).
Different weaves, pile heights and blends make microfiber cloths more suited to specific tasks. Some of the main types:
This is the “workhorse” cloth. For general surface cleaning, wiping, drying. A popular choice for cleaning crews.
From a procurement point: good to stock standard size, mid GSM (grams per square meter), robust edge finish.
These have very smooth knit/weave, designed for streak-free cleaning of reflective surfaces (windows, mirrors, stainless steel). They tend to pick up fine dust and polish surfaces without scratching.
For end users: essential in places where “visual finish” matters (e.g., hotels, offices, premium cleaning).
These cloths have a textured pattern (waffle weave) giving extra surface area, better drying ability, and some scrubbing action without being abrasive. Great for kitchens, bathrooms, tougher grime.
As a buyer: you might source this for “heavy duty” tasks and market accordingly.
High-pile or plush cloths (longer fibers) are softer, more absorbent, and suited for delicate surfaces or polishing jobs (e.g., luxury interiors, auto-detailing).
For wholesale: these command higher price and should be marketed to premium users.
As a wholesaler or purchasing agent, you will want to evaluate cloths across several dimensions: material & construction, size, colour/segmentation, brand and manufacturer reliability, cost per use, and customisation options. Let’s unpack each.
Blend: Typical high-quality microfiber is something like 80% polyester / 20% polyamide (or similar). The polyamide improves absorbency and density. Lower polyamide content may perform less well.
Weave / pile height: As above — terry (standard), flat/knit (glass), waffle weave, plush/high-pile. Each suits a different task.
Edge finish / hems: Robust edges matter for durability. Cheap cloths may fray quickly or have poor fit.
GSM (density): Higher GSM tends to mean more plush, more absorbent, better for delicate surfaces; somewhat lower GSM may be fine for tougher tasks where scrubbing counts. Color-coded guides suggest 250-350 GSM for general tasks.
Choose sizes that match tasks: e.g., 12″×12″ for smaller tasks, 16″×16″ or larger for big surfaces.
Packaging: bulk packs, multi-packs, color-coded sets. For wholesale, multi-packs and large quantities reduce per-unit cost.
Branding/labeling: Ensure manufacturer supports labeling (UPC, brand name, care instructions).
Customisation: If you want cloths with your company logo, specific colors or sizes, check manufacturer’s minimum order quantity (MOQ), lead time, and tooling costs.
Many professional cleaning operations adopt colour-coding: e.g., blue for general dusting, red for bathrooms, green for kitchens, yellow for glass. This reduces risk of cross-contamination.
As a wholesaler you can market “task-specific” packs with different colours included.
Custom colours from the manufacturer add value for branding.
Durability: Good microfiber cloths can be washed many times (hundreds) before losing performance. Poor quality ones degrade quickly.
Cost-per-use: The upfront cost is only one part. If a cloth fails early, you incur replacement, downtime.
If you are considering a wholesale supplier or manufacturer partner, here is why choosing a specialist like JUHAO is advantageous.
With over 16 years in microfiber cloth production, JUHAO has developed deep expertise in fiber blends, weaving/weave patterns, edge finishing, colour dyeing, custom logo printing, and packaging. This experience means fewer surprises, higher consistency and better reliability.
For wholesalers & purchasing agents:
JUHAO can manufacture cloths in custom sizes — whether small (e.g., 12″×12″) for electronics or large (16″×16″ or bigger) for large surface areas.
Custom colours to suit your brand or colour-coding system.
Custom styles / weaves — e.g., waffle weave for drying, flat knit for glass cleaning, plush for polishing.
Custom logos and packaging — you can brand the cloths under your label or offer to your customers with your logo printed.
This allows you to differentiate in the market and offer value beyond “commodity cloths”.
Because JUHAO is a manufacturer with long experience, they can support large-volume orders, offer competitive pricing, and maintain quality across batches. For a wholesaler, this means better margins and less risk of variation.
Quality features you should expect (and JUHAO can deliver):
Proper fiber split for high cleaning performance (trapping dust, microbes) — as referenced by the UCSF fact sheet.
Correct blend ratio (polyester-polyamide) for high absorbency and durability.
Edge hemming, colour fastness, wash durability (many washes without degradation).
Compliance with certifications (if required) for professional/industrial use.
Consistent supply, documentation (batch numbers, QC records).
Whether your customers are:
Commercial cleaning companies (offices, hotels, hospitals)
Automotive detailing & car care (where plush microfiber matters)
Household professional cleaners
Janitorial suppliers
You can source cloth lines tailored to each segment: for example, heavy-duty waffle weave for janitorial; plush for auto-detailing; colour-coded packs for hospitality. Working with a seasoned manufacturer allows this segmentation.
