Color coding is the cheapest infection-control and quality-control system a cleaning operation can adopt: one color never touches the wrong area, so the restroom cloth never ends up on a break room table. These red 16x16 microfiber cleaning cloths are the restroom and high-risk area side of that system -- a 12-pack of 250 GSM cloths sized for everyday wipe-down work.
At 250 GSM these are a high-volume, fast-drying weight rather than a heavy plush towel. That is deliberate. Lighter cloths dry faster between washes, take up less room in a laundry cycle and on a cart, and cost little enough per cloth that staff actually swap to a fresh one instead of stretching a dirty one across three rooms. The split-fiber construction lifts and traps soil and moisture instead of pushing it around, so many surfaces clean with water alone.
Use Cases
- Color-coded janitorial programs that separate restroom, kitchen, glass, and general-purpose work
- Daily wipe-down of desks, counters, tables, fixtures, and equipment housings
- Damp cleaning with a disinfectant solution in healthcare, food service, and school settings
- Auto detailing, shop, and equipment wipe-down where cloths get cycled constantly
- Restocking cleaning carts where a 12-pack is the practical unit
Getting the most life out of them
Wash in cold or warm water with a mild detergent. Skip fabric softener and dryer sheets -- they coat the fibers and kill the absorbency that makes microfiber work. Tumble dry on low or hang dry, and wash microfiber separately from cotton so lint does not clog the fibers. Handled that way, a cloth of this weight lasts through many laundry cycles.

Frequently asked questions
What does 250 GSM mean?
GSM is grams per square meter, the density of the cloth. Around 250 GSM is a high-volume, fast-drying working weight: light enough to dry quickly and cycle through laundry, dense enough to hold soil and moisture on general cleaning tasks.
Why use color-coded cloths?
Assigning a color to each area prevents cross-contamination between restrooms, kitchens, glass, and general surfaces. It also makes it obvious at a glance when a cloth is being used in the wrong zone.
How should I wash them?
Cold or warm water with mild detergent, no fabric softener or dryer sheets, tumble dry low or hang dry, and wash separately from cotton to avoid lint transfer.
Can I use them dry?
Yes. Dry microfiber attracts and holds dust electrostatically, which makes it effective for dusting. Damp cloths handle surface soil and disinfectant application.
How many come in a pack?
This part number is a 12-pack.
Do they scratch surfaces?
Microfiber is non-abrasive and lint-free, which is why it is used on glass, stainless, painted surfaces, and electronics housings. Keep cloths clean and grit-free, since trapped grit is what causes scratching.
