What is something you use to wash dishes with and then ring out?

Here are some other possibilities, though less common:

* Sponge: While sponges are often used for washing dishes, they are usually not wrung out like dishcloths.

* Cleaning rag: This is a more general term, but a cleaning rag can be used for dishes and then rung out.

* Dish brush: While you wouldn't "ring out" a dish brush in the same way as a cloth, you would still need to remove excess water from the bristles after use.
