When damp hands just won’t do.
Having wet hands is one of my (many, if you ask my husband) pet peeves.
I can’t stand not having anywhere to dry my hands, especially in the kitchen.
It doesn’t stop at my hands; grabbing something from my husband when he has wet hands drive me up the wall too.
As silly as I know this is, I’m sure I’m not the ~only~ person who wants to be able to dry their hands properly, regardless of where they are.

Although you can dry your hands with a dish towel, it’s not a good idea to use the same towel to dry dishes and vice versa. This is how germs are spread, thus making people sick.

what is the difference between a hand towel and a kitchen towel?
A dish towel is usually made from terry cloth or thick cotton, but a hand towel is made from cotton, polyester or linen.
