wiper
This term primarily refers to mechanical components or specialized cleaning tools. In the context of automotive use, it is almost always used in the plural "windshield wipers" or "windscreen wipers" because vehicles typically have a pair of blades, though the singular "wiper" is used when referring to the specific mechanism or a single blade.
In industrial or laboratory settings, "wiper" refers to a high-specification cleaning cloth designed to leave no residue. This usage is more technical than the general word "cloth" or "rag," implying a level of precision and cleanliness required for sensitive equipment.
