A facecloth, also known as a washcloth or dishcloth, is a small, square piece of fabric used for washing or wiping the face. Other synonyms for facecloth include flannel, towel, rag, and sponge. Flannels are usually made of a soft, absorbent material and are commonly used for facial cleansing. Towels are larger and can be used for both face and body drying. Rags are typically made of old, worn-out fabric and are used for cleaning or wiping surfaces. Sponges are highly absorbent and can be used for exfoliating and deep cleansing. Regardless of the name, using a facecloth is an essential part of any hygiene routine.
