A washcloth is a small piece of cloth, typically made from cotton or a cotton blend, used for washing the body. It is often square-shaped and soft, making it gentle on the skin. Washcloths are commonly used in bathrooms for personal hygiene, such as during showers or baths, and can also be used for cleaning purposes around the home. Washcloths come in various colors and patterns, allowing for personal preference in style. They are often part of a set that includes other bathroom textiles, such as towels and bath mats. Washcloths are easy to clean and can be machine-washed, making them a practical choice for daily use.
