paper towels
Disposable absorbent squares
Paper towels are absorbent disposable sheets used for cleaning, drying hands, or wiping up spills.
Sold in rolls that tear at perforations, they're a kitchen staple: Grab some paper towels—the dog knocked over his water bowl.
Unlike cloth towels, they're meant to be thrown away after one use.
