The Dish Towel is a small kitchen towel used for drying dishes. In the game it also dries off a character soaked by rain or a swim.
Its in-game tooltip says to use it to dry off when wet, and to always know where the towel is. It earns its place from the first rainy day. It is light and costs nothing to carry.
A towel soaks up water as it is used. Once full it turns into a Dish Towel (Wet) that dries out again over time. Dish towels lie on the counters of almost every shop, kitchen and bar.
Using
Drying off is the main use. A character who is wet from rain can use the towel to dry. One towel may not be enough for a full soaking, and it turns wet partway through.
Cleaning is a second use. A dry towel with at least 250 mL of bleach or cleaning liquid in a container allows the "Clean Stains" option on a stained wall or floor. That removes blood and grime for looks only.
A dry towel with at least 1250 mL of gasoline allows the "Remove Graffiti" option on a wall with graffiti.
The towel also cleans a chicken hutch when paired with any amount of water. A clean hutch keeps the chickens alive.
The Dish Towel does the same work as a Bath Towel. Both weigh the same and give about the same number of uses.
Upkeep
The towel takes about ten uses before it is soaked through. At that point it turns into a Dish Towel (Wet). The wet towel dries back into a usable Dish Towel on its own over time. Keeping two towels means one can dry while the other is in use.
Locations
Dish towels are one of the surest finds in the world. Counters in shops, cafes, bakeries, bars, butchers and restaurant kitchens hold one every time. Bar storage and cafeteria kitchens keep them in washing machines and clothes dryers as well. Any store with a sales counter is worth a quick look.
