drying towel

Post-bath fabric

A drying towel is a towel used specifically for drying things—dishes, cars, hands, or bodies after bathing.

The term distinguishes it from towels with other purposes: Keep a separate drying towel for the glassware.

In auto detailing, drying towels are often microfiber cloths designed to absorb water without scratching paint.
