In British English, a sheet of absorbent paper used for wiping surfaces, drying hands, or cleaning up spills — what Americans call a paper towel. In other contexts it also means a cloth dish towel. The term is standard in UK domestic vocabulary and reflects the tendency to name disposable paper products after their cloth equivalents.
She tore off a sheet of kitchen towel to mop up the coffee she had spilled on the counter.
