The Rag (Dirty) is a strip of cotton cloth soiled by use. It is what a clean Rag turns into after it has sat on a wound.

A dirty rag still has value. It can be washed back into a clean Rag with a little water. It still works as tinder and fuel for a fire. It also goes into many crafts that need only a scrap of cloth. As a bandage it is weak and risky, since it raises the chance of infection.

Most dirty rags come from bandaging wounds. They also fill the bins and washing machines of survivor safehouses.

Using

The most common use is to clean it. The Clean Bandage recipe takes the dirty rag and half a litre of water. It gives back a clean Rag. Boiling it also cleans it.

As a bandage, a dirty rag stops bleeding but helps far less than a clean one. Leaving one on a wound gives the highest chance of infection. A clean or sterilised rag is the better choice whenever one is at hand.

Without washing, it still serves many crafts. It goes into a Splint, a Scarecrow, a Molotov Cocktail, a Fire Bomb and a Smoke Bomb. It also binds log and stick buildings, such as fences, benches, stools, tables, a Log Wall and a Lean-To Shelter.

Twelve dirty rags stack into a Rag Bundle (Dirty) with Stack Items, and Unstack splits a bundle back.

Upkeep

Washing with water turns it back into a clean Rag at once. A pot of boiling water also cleans it. A clean rag that goes back on a wound turns dirty again after a while, so a stock of rags keeps rotating.

Locations

Survivor safehouses are the richest place, in bins, washing machines, stoves, fridges and freezers. Bathrooms, janitor's rooms, gas storage, school storage and Zippee storage hold one nearly half the time. Zombies in Thunder Gas, Gas-2-Go and Fossoil uniforms carry them often. Laundries, prison laundries and prisoner belongings keep them too. Bandaging any wound also turns a clean rag into a dirty one.
