'Shoddy' is a thing of the past. Most cotton waste is not recycled, and what is goes abroad. Cotton felt can still be obtained but can leave a lot of bits ( but so could shoddy ). Cotton felt can also contain wool. For cleaning, rather than polishing, I have used 'mutton cloth' - my family were butchers and sold imported lamb wrapped in ' mutton cloth'. There are sellers of these alternatives on Ebay.
