tea towel

Dee was ready with a tea towel and Dum put them away, while I put butter and milk in the refrigerator and wiped off the table.

The cleanliness of the tea towel is a safe criterion to a good house-keeper.

Remove from fire, place tea towel under cover to absorb moisture and let stand until cold.

I never sneaked out the back way to avoid using the tea towel on waiting dishes.

She threw up once, and I soaked it up with a tea towel that had fussy roses on it.
