Occasionally, in this space we will report and comment on amazing stories of cleaning, polishing, and just about anything to do with rags. What follows today is some interesting news of very enterprising group of young kids.
On May 7,1983, students of the Carroll High Schoolin Yakima, Washington set a record that has stood for 26 years. 3,844 cars were washed that day. They set a Guinness Book of World Record's "most cars washed in 8 hours."
This past April 25, 300 students from Catholic Central and West Catholic High Schools in Grand Rapids, Michigan, made an assault on that record. They offered a free, "eco-friendly", car wash to anyone in the community. Unfortunately, rain, high winds, and finally lightning put a stop to things. A little less than 200 cars were washed in the effort. They will make another attempt in 2010. We'll be eagerly waiting for more news on this and bring it to you when it happens.

Our Blue Huck Towel and Terry Towels are excellent choices for car washing. The Blue Huck Towel is a durable, virtually lint-free rag. Our Terry Towel is hemmed on 3 sides, pre-washed, and very absorbent. Visit http://www.ragsforindustry.com if you need rags for a world record attempt, or even just for your normal business.
