Which words do native English speakers use in this situation?

Suppose you are washing your face, after you are finished, you need to squeeze/tweak/twist/wring/press your towel so it become less wet.



What word would native speakers use here? Which word is the most commonly used to refer to the act of making the towel less wet by taking out its water.



Hope native speakers can help me with this.

Thank you!Which words do native English speakers use in this situation?
Wring out is the most common.Which words do native English speakers use in this situation?
Wring or more likely wring out.

The item you would wring out would more likely be called a "Wash Cloth" or "Face Cloth". The latter being slightly more formal than the former. The wash cloths usually match the towels but are much smaller. At any good hotel you will be supplied with a "Face Cloth", a "Hand Towel" and a "Bath Towel" for each guest and also one "Bath Mat" similar to a towel, though perhaps a little coarser, to use to stand upon while drying yourself.Which words do native English speakers use in this situation?
to wring out (pronounced like "ring out")



Present tense: My towel was dripping water, so I had to wring it out over the bathtub.



Past tense: I wrung out my towel and now it is dry.
