dishrags
Sink-side cloths
Dishrags are cloths used for washing dishes, typically made of absorbent fabric that can withstand repeated soaking and wringing.
The term often implies something worn, limp, or dirty: I feel like a wet dishrag after that workout.
Someone who looks like a dishrag appears exhausted or bedraggled.
