Not Good - These Rags Shed and Leave A LOT of Fuzz Behind
I needed rags to wipe the dust off the cabinets I'm painting. Ran out of the ones I got at another supplier and since they were out of stock, I got this HDX pack at Home Depot. The cabinets are smooth and just about ready for clear coat. After lightly sanding them with 3000 grit and blowing them off, I tried to use these so-called 'Painter's Rags' (although no painter in his right mind should use these) to get off that last little bit of dust. The rags immediately started shedding all over the place - not just a little, but really excessive shedding ... all over the cabinet, my clothes, everywhere! New in the bag, they look really smooth and nice, but the second you use them, they shed and become all fuzzy. I’m returning these for sure!!!

Rip off!!!
They should be called no use ribbons. They do not absorb and they are about 2" wide by 12" long. Home Depot should be ashamed to sell these.

worst rags I have ever purchased
Do not buy these rags. Almost all of these rags are just small unusable pieces of scrap cloth. Most of them being no more than 2 inches wide.

Small oddly sized scraps. I had several times bought the smaller amount of rags for staining and had full size usable rags. This is a bag of cloth ran though a shredder. Would of returned if i hadn't need rag at this time.

good light duty cloths
This is a huge bag of assorted cloth scraps for various uses. The pieces range a bit in size and shape. I included a pic of examples of the various ones I found in my bag. I didn't find any that I thought were too small to be useful. I like that they are all white so its easy if you want to clean and reuse them by just washing them all with bleach. The texture of the cloth varies a little bit from piece to piece. The are all very soft - almost silky - and all have a bit of stretch to them, but some have a bit of texture, even ribbed, while most are perfectly smooth. Even those with texture are all soft enough that they are not going to scratch any surface. They are all pretty thin - not so thin that they would rip easily, but not very suited to any heavy duty work. This is why I didn't give them 5 stars - they are not completely "all-purpose", but will work well for anything but heavy duty jobs.

The material is not the most absorbent
I'd prefer and recommend a different type of rag if you want consistency and absorbancy.
The good news is you get a lot of rags for a good price. But I don't like the material. The material has a ridging pattern (see attached photo) and looks to be some surplus from old fashioned men's T-shirts that could not be sold.
I also didn't find them to be super absorb-able.
Instead, I'll opt for plain-flat cotton thin shop rags next time, or stick with MY old T-shirts which seem to have much more absorbancy. I will say this: perhaps these have good lint characteristics. That might come in handy in some painting and staining situations. (I didn't get a chance to try staining with them.)

Multipurpose cloths
I am always in need of cloths and rags for project clean up, cleaning the house and various chores household chores. When I received these cloths I was surprised to find such a large amount for this price point. The bag is very large and packed with cloths. The dimension of the bag were 12in x 14in x 5 inches. The material is like a very thick tee shirt material. I used them for cleaning in the house and for cleaning small imperfections while painting. They worked well in both applications. I plan to use them for various other cleaning, woodworking and engine projects as well. If you like having a large stash of clean cloths available you cant beat the value.

8 lbs of rags in a plastic bag
If you’re like me and regularly do handy work around the house, your family will eventually run out of old t-shirts, blankets, hankies, and undershirts that can be pilfered for rags. Lucky for us handy-people, HDX has a solution... 8 lbs of rags in a plastic bag. The rags are made of new textile by-products and aren’t someone’s old used clothes. They’re a blend of cotton, polyester, and rayon even though I would prefer 100% cotton. They're thinner than a 100% cotton t-shirt (like a cotton t that has been washed a few hundred times) and the sizes are also a bit random; nevertheless, they’re perfect for wiping primer, paint, stain, gasoline, motor oil, caulk, etc., etc. off my fingers. I only wish they were a bit less expensive.

ASSORTED SIZES OF CLEAN RAGS
I started to count how many rags were in the bag until I realized they were all different sizes and shapes. This means the number of rags could vary quite a bit from bag to bag. Some of the rags were as small as 6" X 6" and others, like in the photo, were 14" X 14". Some had a smooth finish while others were very textured. Also, they felt like they were made from a variety of materials. Some were slick like all polyester and some felt like they might have a little cotton in them. I think what is important is that they were all clean, smelled good and appeared to be made from brand new materials. Not recycled used clothing.
