Spill catchers are items used to protect clothing from spills and messes. NAPKINS, bibs, and aprons are all common spill catchers. NAPKINS are thin pieces of cloth or paper used to wipe up spills and clean hands. Bibs are typically made of cloth and worn around the neck to protect clothing from food and drink spills. Aprons are larger pieces of cloth that cover the front of the body and are often used in the kitchen to protect clothing from splatters and spills.
