GWT Red Shop Towels: 1,000-Pack vs 500-Pack - Which Should You Stock?

GWT red shop towels come in a 1,000-piece 15x15 case at USD 189.99 and a 500-piece 15x14 case at USD 99.99. This head-to-head helps you pick the right stock for your cleaning volume.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

If you keep a shop or a janitorial closet stocked for everyday spills, the useful question in commercial cleaning and janitorial buying is how many towels you want in a case. Two GWT red shop towel cases answer that differently: one holds 1,000 towels at 15x15 inches, and the other holds 500 towels at 15x14 inches. Both are new, U.S.-made GWT towels made of 100% cotton and aimed at industrial-grade use, so the real decision is about volume and how much you want to buy at once.

Quick verdict

The 1000 Pieces Red Shop Towels Large 15x15 Cleaning Rags is listed at USD 189.99 and gives you a 15x15 towel in a 1,000-count case. The 500 Pieces Red Shop Towels Large 15x14 Cleaning Rags is listed at USD 99.99 and gives you a 15x14 towel in a 500-count case. Both carry the GWT brand, are in New condition, and come from the United States. The 1,000-piece case is the high-volume choice; the 500-piece case is the lighter-buy choice.

The listed-price gap is $90.00, and the larger case has 500 more towels.

Where each wins

The 1,000-piece case wins for high-volume turnover. You get roughly twice the towels and a slightly larger 15x15 sheet, which matters when a stack disappears during a busy week of cleaning, oil changes, or workshop tasks.

The 500-piece case wins for smaller operations and tighter budgets. It costs less upfront, takes up less storage space, and still gives you the same new-condition, U.S.-made GWT towel in a 15x14 size.

This is the bigger inventory play. You get 1,000 red shop towels in a large 15x15 size, and the towels are positioned as industrial-grade for automotive shops, garages, workshops, and home use. Because they are 100% cotton, they are a practical fit for wiping up oil and other fluids. The main reason to choose this case is volume and the slightly larger sheet compared with the 500-piece case. The trade-off is the higher upfront listed price, which ties up more supply money before you know exactly how fast your crew will work through the case. If your cleaning or service volume is consistently high, this counts as the better stock-up option.

The 500-piece case is the more contained starting point. You get 500 red shop towels at 15x14 inches, and the same new-condition, U.S.-made GWT quality applies here. The towels are still suited to automotive, workshop, garage, and home cleaning tasks. The limitation is the lower piece count: a busy shop will reorder sooner, and the sheet is a fraction smaller at 15x14. If you are estimating monthly usage for the first time or you simply do not want a large inventory commitment, the 500-piece case keeps the purchase lighter while still giving you dependable red shop towels.

Final choice by use case

Choose the 1,000-piece, 15x15 case when your commercial cleaning or workshop volume is high enough to justify stocking 1,000 towels at once.

Choose the 500-piece, 15x14 case for lower-volume use, smaller storage space, or a lighter initial purchase.
