snot rags

Reusable nasal tissues

Snot rags are handkerchiefs or tissues used for blowing the nose—crude but vivid slang emphasizing their function.

The term is deliberately unrefined: I need to do laundry; I'm out of clean snot rags.

Sometimes used dismissively for any worthless cloth or paper.
