Hi there,

I like to hand wash my dishes. What are the names of the towel particularly for washing dishes and dry the dishes? Is it correct to say like this?

:up: Pay attention to the British/US difference. British English also has the similar-sounding, and related (but totally different) word 'dish-cloth', which is the one that is wet and actually cleans the dishes - except in parts of the world where they have dish-washers. ;-)
