wet cloth
Moistened cleaning textile
A wet cloth is a piece of fabric saturated or dampened with water or another liquid, typically used for cleaning, cooling, or applying moisture.
A cool wet cloth soothes a feverish forehead; a warm one removes makeup or loosens grime: She pressed a wet cloth to his face.
The phrase is literal rather than idiomatic.
