Kimberly-Clark Professional is challenging manufacturing production managers to reconsider their wiping choices, pitching the WypAll® range of industrial cloths against traditional rags and laundered cloths used in plant and manufacturing settings. Just like hiring a new employee, selecting the right wiping solution can positively impact your KPIs. If you were to compare WypAll® against traditional rags – who will they give the job to?

Reduce waste and save money

Although rags can appear to be a cost effective solution for cleaning up oil and grease around the factory, when you look at the total cost, in particularly the cost to dispose of contaminated rags, you might be surprised.

On average, a 10kg bale of contaminated rags can cost over £4 per bag to dispose of. When compared to an engineered cloth like the range of WypAll® Cloths, that cost is only 0.88p for the equivalent amount, which is a reduction of 78%2. Plus the amount you send to landfill or incinerated is significantly less.

Storage space

Rags can be big and bulky to transport, store and move around your factory. All this movement costs time and money. By moving to a WypAll® X Cloths you can reduce storage space too. On average, WypAll® occupy 68% less shelf space than rags2 freeing up space in your storage area for production critical components.

 

Performance

Performing tasks like cleaning surfaces, machinery and parts efficiently is imperative within the manufacturing environment. Ensuring that you can complete these tasks to the highest standards in the shortest possible time, without slowing the process really can help your manufacturing KPI’s. This is when using a product like a WypAll® X Cloth, as it absorbs 40% more oil than rags and absorbs it 5 times faster1, can get the job done more efficiently that rags.
