No idea what the red rags are.

The red rag is originated in the auto repair business decades ago. Most automotive shops and dealerships used third-party companies to supply uniforms for their employees, and they also rented red utility shop rags from them that were about a foot square, give or take. They picked them up weekly and left clean ones. They are ubiquitous in the industry to this day and you can now by things like that at parts stores, etc.
Frankly, they’re not very good. Terry cloth towels are far better.
