The term "wash leather" and "window leather" is used for very absorbent leather used for drying wet surfaces on glass and other surfaces.
- Window leather of sheep skin: Sheep leather is thinner and does not absorb so much moisture. It is therefore more suitable for wiping off steamed windows and for drying.
