Don't ask us for a specific count because we can't give it to you. We aren't being rude (at least this time), we just don't know as it varies.

You are buying rags by the pound, not a specific quantity. The exact weight of each individual piece differs from the next and there is simply no way to know the count. If you have more heavyweight rags in your box, you'll have fewer rags but those heavyweight rags will last longer. The more rags in a box, the lighter the weight of the rag. The only thing we do know is the box of rags will always weigh 40 pounds which includes the box. If you must have a count, we'll guarantee there will be at least 1 and less than a million rags in a 40-pound box! Sorry, it's the best we can do.
