Shop towels?
Shop towels?
Scotts shop towels (the blue rolls) are American, and that seems to be all that's sold around here, including at Canadian Tire.
Any alternatives? I already use reusable rags, buy I need something disposable and also stronger than paper towels.

At least for some uses I bought a big 5lb bag of white cotton rags (essentially chopped up t shirts) from Lee Valley.
They’re labelled a product of Canada.

That disclaimer is absolutely necessary.
Princess Auto also has similar bags of rags.
And they have a few more locations around the country than Lee Valley, so may be more convenient.
Now that I'm looking around more, a box of rags might be a doable option. Not the Leevalley ones, but others I've seen appear to be much cheaper than the boxes of rags I've purchased in the past.
If you can find cheaper go for it
These are literally cut up tshirts

I try to use old shirts as rags (ones that are too damaged to donate), but sometimes buying a 20lb box of already cut up old shirts is the way to go. LOL
