What is a "rag"?

A rag refers to a small piece of cloth, often old and worn out, that is used for cleaning, wiping, or polishing surfaces. Rags can be made from a variety of fabrics such as cotton, linen, or even wool. Due to their absorbent nature and durability, rags have been widely used for household chores and industrial cleaning purposes for centuries. Rags can be cut from larger pieces of cloth or maybe the remnants of old clothes that have been torn or cut into smaller pieces. In addition to their practical uses, rags can also be used for artistic and decorative purposes, such as in rag rugs or quilting. Overall, rags serve as versatile and useful items in various settings.
