Don't place too much trust in online dictionaries. A clout in this context is a cloth, and a 'dish-clout' is a piece of fabric used for wiping and/or drying dishes. Nowadays more commonly 'tea-towel' or 'dish-rag'; 'clout' in that sense is a bit old fashioned and used chiefly in Scotland and the north of England. |
