Our Process
Acadian Wipers employs a large cutting staff to handle any size order of cleaning rags/wipers you might require. With a steady supply of product entering our facility on a daily basis, we feel confident that we can supply any of our customer’s needs in a timely manner.
All of our cleaning/wiper cloths go through numerous quality checks before packaging, including a metal detection station, to ensure only top-quality cleaning materials are produced. Once processed, cleaning rags are packaged in compressed poly bags (1, 12, 20, or 25 lbs). Simply indicate your preferred packaging sizes and quantities when ordering.
