Help, I've run out of bike cleaning cloths!

[Pat "5mph"]

Should this be in the mechanics forum?
As per title, got no more old tees, linen, towels, even used up the emergency holey socks to oil a chain.
I've been using 3 bikes, the commuter, the ice bike, the snow tractor.
They need cleaning almost after every ride or they seize.
What am I gonna do???
Hope the 4 bottles of GT85 will last me till spring ...

I've got loads in the garage. Come and get some.
I'll put the kettle on!

Do your neighbours use washing lines?

Baby Wipes......or try and reel in that Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour, and let your bike get dirty.

In Scotland in February? No!

Are baby wipes not bad for the environment? I would need a box every 2 days!
I don't mind the dirt as such, but had bike chains seize before in this weather.

Old knickers

Out of them too

Great idea!

Even cheaper from a charity shop.

Excellent idea, I'm on it, thanks!

Never short of rags here due to two fast growing boisterous boys who get through clothes at an alarming rate! I can even be choosy about what I use and reject anything too fluffy or unabsorbent.

Old knickers

That's no way to talk about Pat..... I was just about to suggest raiding the smalls draw, there must be a couple of old grey items that haven't been worn for ages?

It's what we used to use when I worked in a bike shop (late 70s/early 80s). I've bought rolls myself since when I've seen it in local hardware stores.

Silk is no good for this purpose

You guys suggesting buying rags! That's just

I get really sad when a band/tour T-shirt becomes so worn it gets demoted to bike cleaning.

Don't they call them "yer pulling pants" in Glasgow?
