The Rag Company
The Rag Company offers the finest quality microfiber cleaning, detailing and facial/spa products at wholesale pricing. Unfortunately, a majority of online retailers and big-box stores are flooding the market with cheap and much less effective microfiber products. As a consumer it's important you understand that not all microfiber is created equally:
- Split Microfiber - All microfiber products from The Rag Company have gone through a micro-replication splitting process to create even more surface area on the fibers. The equipment to do this is very expensive but necessary to produce the thirstiest, most effective microfiber in the world. Because of these additional splits, microfiber from The Rag Company is able to absorb 7 times or more of its own weight in liquids and is extremely effective at cleaning and wiping dust, dirt, water, grease, oils, etc. Cheaper microfiber towels don't go through this process and lack the additional fiber surface area to be even close as effective as towels from The Rag Company.
- Yarn Quality - It's widely recognized that the finest microfiber in the world comes from South Korea. The Rag Company's highest quality detailing, cleaning and facial/spa/bath towels are manufactured with the highest A-Grade Hyo Sung fiber yarn made exclusively in South Korea. The manufacturing process to produce this yarn is more expensive, but it results in towels with the highest absortion rate, antibiotic action, and dryability available in the marketplace.
- Fabric Density - Most microfiber towels from The Rag Company have over 300,000 fibers per square inch. Cheaper towels can have less than half that density (<100,000) resulting in a much lower absorbency capability. In general, the higher the density count, the more effective a towel is at drying and cleaning.
- Polyester / Polyamide Ratio - Quality microfiber typicall falls within a ratio range of 70/30 to 80/20 - all products from The Rag Company are within this range. Polyamide (nylon) is more expensive to produce than polyester. Many cheaper towels are made from 100% polyester and lack the composition/blend necessary for effective cleaning and drying.
- Quality Control - Many mid-quality manufacturers produce their fabric in Korea and then ship it to China to be made into towels and other products. This enables them to utilize higher quality Korean fabric and then take advantage of cheaper Chinese labor, but they lose the ability to fully control quality processes from end-to-end. In general, the best quality microfiber manufacturers produce both their fabric and their products in South Korea at a single facility where quality is closely monitored throughout the entire process. All of The Rag Company's highest quality microfiber detailing, cleaning and facial/spa/bath products are manufactured this way.
