# If one’s hands became soiled with mud one may not clean them off by wiping them on a towel or handkerchief however one may wipe them on a rag which one isn’t concerned about cleaning. <Ref>S”A 302:11 writes that if one's hands became soiled with mud one may wipe them on a hard cloth used to hold thorns but not a regular hand towel because one may come to clean the towel. Mishna Brurah 302:57 writes that a rag which one is not concerned about is just like a hard cloth and one may wipe one's hand on it. So rules Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 14:26 (in new editions, 14:29) seems to add that a paper towel is like a rag that one isn't concerned about.</ref> | # If one’s hands became soiled with mud one may not clean them off by wiping them on a towel or handkerchief however one may wipe them on a rag which one isn’t concerned about cleaning. <Ref>S”A 302:11 writes that if one's hands became soiled with mud one may wipe them on a hard cloth used to hold thorns but not a regular hand towel because one may come to clean the towel.

# If a drink spills on a tablecloth it is permissible to place paper napkins over the wet area to dry up some liquid. However, one may not press it against the wet area to draw out the liquid. <ref>39 Melachos (Rabbi Ribiat, vol 3, pg 700) writes if a drink spills on a tablecloth it is permissible to place paper napkins over the wet area to dry up some liquid. However, one may not press it against the wet area to draw out the liquid. Similarly, Rav Moshe Feinstein in Iggerot Moshe 2:70 rules that one may wet a paper towel in order to clean the table because one is not concerned to squeeze out the liquid and also the paper towel gets ruined by the water. </ref> | # If a drink spills on a tablecloth it is permissible to place paper napkins over the wet area to dry up some liquid.
