What is the difference between handkerchief and tissue and napkin and kleenex ?
A:
Kleenex is another word for a tissue. These are the ones that come in a box, and people use for their nose or eyes.
Kleenex is actually a brand name. I think Americans use it genetically. It’s not so common a word in the U.K.
A napkin is specifically for food- you use it to wipe your fingers or mouth, or to put on your lap or chest to protect your clothes. It can be paper or cloth. If it’s paper, it can also be called a “serviette”.
A handkerchief is always cloth, so people wash them and reuse them. It can serve any purpose, but is most likely used like a tissue.
