washclothWashcloths are an American icon, but they are not generally found in other parts of the world. I grew up using a washcloth (we called them washrags) to wash my face when taking a shower. I think I might have even used the same one for several days, however it has been so long ago I’m not sure. One thing I do remember is I quit using them when I started traveling to Europe because they were not available at any hotel back in those days.

It never fails, about a month before a tour is set to commence I begin getting questions about washcloths. Many of my travel partners have come up with clever solutions for this “problem.” If you have a suggestion, please share it in the comment section below.
