wipes off
Removes with cloth
To wipe off is to remove something from a surface by rubbing: She wiped off the counter, He wiped the mud off his boots.
The thing removed can be the object: wipe off the dust.
Figuratively, to wipe something off is to eliminate it entirely: The crash wiped ten percent off the stock's value.
