OIL & GREASE WIPING GUIDE

Wipes for Oil & Grease Cleaning

Selection guide for industrial wipes used on oil, grease and process fluids, covering absorbency, strength, lint, reusable rags and disposable wipe formats.

Start with the actual wiping task

Oil and grease cleaning is not only about absorbency. The wipe also needs enough wet strength, surface contact and practical size to remove contamination without creating unnecessary consumption or lint.

Buyer checklist

  1. How heavy and viscous is the contamination?
  2. Does the job require wiping, scrubbing or soaking up free liquid?
  3. Is lint acceptable on the surface or downstream process?
  4. Will the wipe contact solvents or cleaning chemicals?
  5. Would a reusable rag or controlled disposable format reduce total consumption?

For a product-level recommendation, use the JETESO Product Finder or send the current wipe, application and monthly quantity for comparison.
