Surface contaminants reduce the adhesion performance of paint, woodstain or varnish and lead to flaking and cracking. These tack cloths are an essential part of getting surfaces in tiptop condition before painting: they're impregnated with a special lightly tacky resin that efficiently picks up any loose dust, lint, dirt and other debris that's often not visible to the naked eye. They're ideally used after sanding painted and bare wood surfaces and in other situations where dust needs to be cleared without using water. No heavy duty scrubbing is required: tack cloths are highly effective after one or two light wipes and unlike dusters or standard cleaning cloths, they don't return any dust to the surface, they remove it and hold on to it, leaving no surface tack or residue. At 30” x 16” (76cm x 41cm) approx. each cloth has plenty of capacity for even large areas.
