SUPPLYING AUSTRALIA'S INDUSTRIES SINCE 1994
A family-owned Australian business built on the pillars of consistency, quality control, and reliable delivery. We provide the essential wiping solutions that keep your machinery clean and your operations running.
FROM LOCAL ROOTS TO NATIONAL REACH
What started in 1994 as a modest local operation in Sydney has evolved into Australia’s premier source for industrial cleaning rags. Smith’s Cleaning Rags was founded on a simple realization: Australian industries required a more reliable, absorbent, and consistent wiping cloth than what was currently available.
As a family-owned and operated business, we took personal responsibility for the quality of every bag that left our floor. Over three decades, we have expanded our logistics network and diversified our product range to include high-tech microfibres and specialized industrial cottons, while maintaining the same hands-on approach to quality control.
