Your Trusted Fish Scale Cloth Manufacturer and Supplier
Fish scale towel is a special type of microfiber cleaning cloth. It has a unique fish scale texture and a flat, low-pile surface. Also, it is very suitable for cleaning glass, mirrors, windows, and other smooth surfaces. You can use it for the final wipe to get a clear finish without streaks or water marks.
However, fish scale towel usually has a relatively low GSM, so it is not very suitable for absorbing large amounts of water. If you need a cleaning cloth with high absorbency, this may not be the best choice for you. Before placing a bulk order with Manywell, you need to confirm the size and GSM you need, as well as whether you want any custom options.

can provide custom sizes, packaging, and other services to meet your needs. With our 22,000㎡ factory and more than 150 production machines, we can fully support your OEM production needs.

OUR PRODUCT
Types of Fish Scale Microfiber Cloth
There are many types of fish scale cloth, and each type has its own features. However, they are all suitable for cleaning delicate surfaces.
Hemmed Fish Scale Microfiber Cloth
This fish scale microfiber cloth has neatly sewn edges. This reduces the risk of marginal detachment. It keeps its shape after washing and is very durable. You can use it to clean glass and mirrors. Of course, the color of the edge can also be customized according to your needs.
Edgeless Fish Scale Microfiber Cloth
This cloth can be finished with laser cutting or ultrasonic cutting. The edges are flat and smooth, so they won't scratch surfaces. This also gives you more wiping area. If you want a different look, you can also choose a decorative edge.
Printed Fish Scale Microfiber Cloth
You can print your favorite patterns on the fish scale microfiber fabric. This type of cloth is very suitable for brand promotion and helps increase brand recognition. At the same time, the cleaning performance will not become worse because of the printing.
Fish Scale Microfiber Cleaning Cloth Roll
This cleaning cloth roll doesn't need to be cut by hand. It has pre-made tear lines, so you can tear off a piece whenever you need it. It's very convenient. Each piece is the same size, making it ideal for cleaning glass, mirrors, and everyday cleaning tasks.

What Is Fish Scale Cloth?
Fish scale microfiber cleaning cloth gets its name from the unique fish scale texture on its surface. It is a microfiber cleaning cloth specifically designed for cleaning smooth surfaces. Compared with regular microfiber towels, a fish scale towel is usually used for wiping surfaces and for the final cleaning step. Because its surface is flat and tightly woven, it doesn't leave water marks on glass or mirrors.
Benefits of Fish Scale Towel
Streak-Free Cleaning
When cleaning smooth surfaces like glass and mirrors, what we care about most is whether the cloth will leave lint behind. If you take a close look at the surface of fish scale rags, you will find that it has a flat, low-pile surface. This kind of surface is not easy to shed lint. Of course, you still need to confirm with the factory whether the sample can meet this requirement. This helps make sure your bulk order will also be completely lint-free.
Low-Lint Performance
When cleaning smooth surfaces like glass and mirrors, what we care about most is whether the cloth will leave lint behind. If you take a close look at the surface of fish scale rags, you will find that it has a flat, low-pile surface. This kind of surface is not easy to shed lint. Of course, you still need to confirm with the factory whether the sample can meet this requirement. This helps make sure your bulk order will also be completely lint-free.
Distinctive Fish Scale Texture
Fish scale cleaning cloth is also a type of glass cleaning cloth. But compared with other flat glass cloths, its surface texture is more distinctive and better suited for cleaning glass surfaces. It has now become a well-recognized choice for cleaning car glass.
Reusable and Washable
Fish scale cloth is very suitable for daily cleaning and repeated use. Even after many washes, it can still maintain its original cleaning performance.
Of course, the right washing method can help extend the life of the cloth. So, you can add washing and care instructions to your product to help your customers use the microfiber fish scale cloth correctly.
How to Use Fish Scale Cloths
For Glass and Windows
Before cleaning glass and mirrors, we need to remove any loose dust and particles from the surface. This helps prevent the towel from scratching the glass when wiping with dust on it.
We recommend rinsing the glass with clean water and glass cleaner first. Then, use a terry microfiber towel to absorb the water from the glass surface. By this step, most of the cleaning is already done. Finally, use a fish scale glass cloth to wipe away the remaining water and lint from the glass.
Please keep in mind that you need to use a clean fish scale cloth for the final cleaning. Even though this cloth is suitable for cleaning glass, it can still leave marks on the glass when it has picked up a lot of dirt.
For Mirrors
The steps for cleaning mirrors are pretty much the same as those for cleaning glass. There are usually fingerprints, grease, and water spots left on the mirror surface. So, when cleaning mirrors, we need to use a suitable cleaner to help remove the grease more effectively.
However, if the fish scale towel has already become wet, we need to switch to a dry cleaning cloth for the final wipe.
For Car Windows and Windshields
Fish scale cleaning cloth can be used to clean car windshields, side windows, and rear windows. These areas often have a lot of fingerprints and dust. You can use it together with a coral fleece microfiber towel. The coral fleece towel is mainly for absorbing more water, while the fish scale cleaning cloth can be used for the final polishing.
Use Fish Scale Microfiber Cloths Wet or Dry?
We’ve put together a table to show you when to use the cloth dry and when to use it wet.
| Usage Method | Suitable For | How to Use | Things to Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dry Use | 1. Removing light dust 2. Final wiping of the surface | Use a clean, dry cloth and wipe gently and evenly. | Not suitable for removing heavy dirt or obvious grease films directly. |
| Slightly Damp Use | Fingerprints, light stains, and everyday cleaning | Slightly dampen the cloth and wipe the surface evenly. | Avoid making the cloth too wet, as this may leave water marks. |
| Use with Glass Cleaner | Glass surfaces with grease or stains that need help from a cleaning product | Follow the cleaner’s instructions for the right amount, then finish wiping with a clean part of the cloth. | Cleaner residue, too much cleaner, or a dirty cloth can all affect the final result. |
In short, fish scale cloth can be used both dry and wet. When you choose the right cleaning method for different situations, you can get much better cleaning results.
How to Fold Fish Scale Cloths for Better Cleaning
When wiping a mirror, you can fold the fish scale rag a few times until it is about the size of your palm. This not only gives you more wiping areas, but also makes the cloth easier to handle.
Not all cleaning products are suitable for use with fish scale towels. We need to choose a mild glass cleaner and control the amount when using it. Using too much cleaner will not only leave obvious water marks during wiping, but also cause damage to the fish scale cloth.
If you want to sell the cleaning cloth together with a cleaning product, we recommend testing them together in advance to avoid any compatibility issues.

How to Clean Fish Scale Cloth
Step 1: Shake Out Loose Dust and Debris
During the cleaning process, the fish scale microfiber cleaning cloth can pick up a lot of dust and small particles. So, before washing the cloth, we should gently shake off these particles to reduce the dirt left in the washing process.
Step 2: Soak the Cloth Thoroughly
We need to soak the fish scale microfiber towel in water. This is to loosen the dirt and glass cleaner residue on the surface. This way, the dirt will be much easier to clean off in the following washing steps.
Step 3: Add a Mild Detergent
If there is a lot of dirt on the fish scale cleaning towel, we recommend using a mild detergent to clean it together. But you must use the right amount to avoid detergent residue staying on the cloth and affecting its cleaning performance later.
Step 4: Gently Agitate the Cloth
When rubbing the cleaning cloth, don't use too much force. This can cause too much friction and damage the fabric and the edges of the cloth. If there is still a lot of dirt on the fish scale cleaning towel, we can soak it a little longer or wash it one more time.
Step 5: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse the cloth thoroughly with clean water at least three times. This is to wash away the detergent and dirt completely and keep the cloth's original cleaning performance.
Step 6: Air-Dry the Cloth
Finally, leave the cloth to air-dry in a clean, well-ventilated area. Be careful not to use too much heat, as it can affect the fabric's performance. Make sure the cloth is completely dry before storing it.
Important Washing Precautions
- Wash fish scale microfiber cloths separately from fabrics that easily shed lint.
- Avoid using fabric softener.
- Do not wash the cloth in water that is too hot.
- For bulk orders, we recommend including washing tests in the product evaluation process. Based on the test results, you can prepare care instructions and set product acceptance standards.
How to Choose Fish Scale Cleaning Cloth for Your Market
Glass Cleaning
30 × 30 cm and 40 × 40 cm are common sizes for fish scale towels used for glass cleaning. These smaller sizes are easy to fold and clean detailed areas. For everyday glass cleaning, light colors are usually chosen, such as white and light gray. Of course, both the color and size can be customized with the factory.
Automotive Care
For car cleaning, dark colors are generally more common, so fish scale microfiber cleaning towels are no exception. Dark gray and black are usually chosen, and some brands also customize their own colors to match their brand. For the size, 40 × 40 cm is a common choice. It is more suitable for wiping large areas, such as windshields.
Premium Cleaning Products
For premium cleaning products, more attention is paid to the quality of the fish scale cloth. For this application, we recommend choosing fish scale cloth with a GSM of over 300 and pairing it with customized paper packaging. This not only helps ensure good cleaning performance, but also gives the product an attractive appearance. At the same time, we recommend testing the towels before placing a bulk order to make sure they perform well.
Private Label Brands
To show off their own brand, private label brands usually choose to develop their own fish scale washing cloth, with colors that match their brand. They also have stricter requirements for overall quality. So, when choosing a cloth for this application, you need to test the cloth you select to make sure it meets your requirements and protects your brand reputation.
Fish Scale Cloth Cost Factors
1. GSM and Fabric Weight
GSM affects the material cost of microfiber towels. When the size and composition are the same, the higher the GSM, the higher the price. Of course, when choosing the GSM, we need to consider the actual cleaning needs first. We should not blindly choose a higher GSM.
2. Custom Packaging
Packaging costs include the packaging method, packaging materials, labor, and other factors. Every step will affect the cost of the towel. If we only look at the packaging type, the prices from low to high are generally as follows:
Bulk Carton Packing < OPP Bag < Paper Sleeve < Printed OPP Bag < Custom Label / Hang Tag < Custom Color Box < Multi-Component Retail Packaging
If you want to control packaging costs, you can give priority to existing standard bag types and general packaging sizes. However, the final packaging cost will also depend on the specific packaging size, order quantity, and processing complexity.
3. Custom Product Sets
If you need custom product sets, the factory will combine different products according to your requirements. This may involve customization at different stages of towel production, so the cost will naturally increase.
However, your custom set costs may be lower in the following situations:
- Try to reduce the number of different sizes, colors, and compositions in each set.
- Use the same bag or box type for different sets as much as possible to reduce packaging development costs.
- If you don’t need individual packaging for each towel, special labels, or complicated arrangements, it is usually easier to control costs.
- Increase the order quantity for each set.
4. Order Quantity
For factories, the business model is usually to make profits through large sales volumes. If the order quantity is small, the cost will naturally increase, and the cost per piece will be higher. When the quantity increases, fixed costs can be spread across more products, so the cost per piece will naturally decrease.
There is also one situation where a factory may be willing to sell in small quantities: when you buy its ready stock without any customization requirements.
5. Custom Fiber Composition
When all other conditions are the same, the higher the polyamide content in fish scale cloth, the higher the price. For example, 70% Polyester / 30% Polyamide is more expensive than 80% Polyester / 20% Polyamide.
When choosing the specific fiber composition, we need to base our decision on the wiping performance of the finished product. We should not simply assume that a higher polyamide ratio always means better cleaning performance.
6. Custom Colors
If the factory already has the color you need in stock, the MOQ is usually not very high, and the price may also be more favorable. However, if you need a custom color, the fabric will need to be dyed.
Dyeing requires enough fabric to be prepared, and the dye solution needs to be adjusted according to your target color. So, there is usually a minimum dyeing batch requirement, and the overall cost may also increase.
