Portuguese term or phrase: pano de limpeza

I'm looking for the English term for 'pano de limpeza', which in Brazil is a kind of 'washcloth', only it is partilaly (or entirelly?) made with a paper combination, and it is super absorbent and easy to dry. Normally used to clean and dry kitchen appliances and the sink.

This 'pano de limpeza' is normally referred to as the trademark "perfex". Below are some visual references.

Thank you all!

A dishrag, although used to wash dishes, is also used for general kitchen cleanup.
