I grew up saying "warsh rag" in E Nebraska, but I'm not sure that others
around there did.  I do think both my parents (one b. N Ohio, the other St
Louis) did. At some point I noticed that other people said "wash cloth" or
"face cloth."
I'm pretty sure "warsh"  or "worsh"  & "Warshington"  were the common
pronunciations among the kids I knew.
