Cellulose wipes provide excellent absorbency for water-based contamination and can be an economical alternative in many situations. However, most non-woven wipes use glues or binders to hold the fibers in place, which can account for up to 30% of the weight of some products.  Be aware that cleaning fluids can dissolve many binders, which can result in contamination of the work area.
