Archaic word for a cloth used for wiping dishes; the modern term is 布巾 (ふきん).

In old documents, there are examples where 拭布 is read as ふきのの.
Alternate archaic reading; rare and obsolete.
The exact derivation is uncertain; the spelling 拭布 combines 拭 (wipe) and 布 (cloth), and the reading ふきのの may be an older form related to 布巾 (ふきん).
