dishcloths

Sink cleaning squares

Dishcloths is the plural of dishcloth—a small piece of cloth used for washing dishes or wiping surfaces in the kitchen.

The term covers both the thin, loosely woven cloths for washing and the slightly thicker ones for drying, though the latter are more often called dish towels.

The dishcloths need to go in the laundry.
