Roílla

A term used in Málaga for a rag reserved strictly for kitchen use. Its classification is very specific: if it is ever used even once to wipe a dining table or a bathroom sink, it loses its status. (In this region, the word is a local phonetic variation of rodilla, which historically referred to a cleaning cloth).

Remind me later to put the roílla in the wash.
