Subdivided Cloth

Multiple rags in one rag

Have you ever had to clean a surface with two or three or even four different rags? First dry wipe, then cleaning product wipe, then water wipe, then final dry? And you've got four different rags to manage, and it ends up being a nightmare... we've all been there.

Introducing subdivided cloth! It is multiple squares or swatches of fabric sewn together with non-permeable borders so that different parts of the greater cloth can be individually wet or dry. You could subdivide into corner quadrants, a simple half-and-half, or intricate geometry like a concentric rings (halves for wiping/drying combos, quarters for multi-step cleaning bullseyes for polishing, etc).

The best part is it costs exponentially more than a single cloth!! We can stitch random rag scraps, call them "hi-tech Subdivided Cloth™," and sell em at such a mouthwatering markup that we'll need Subdivided Cloth™ to clean up our drool.

       See, it’s volume. You’ve got to make up the losses in volume. Then Subdivide. Sell lemonade…
