In one configuration, the towel and mitt combination includes a towel that includes a front fastener. The towel and mitt combination also includes a mitt that includes a mitt fastener. The mitt fastener is configured to be releasably secured to the front fastener. The mitt is configured to be operatively and removably connected to the towel via the mitt fastener and the front fastener, when the mitt fastener is releasably secured to the front fastener. In another configuration, the towel includes a tab which includes the front fastener. These and other embodiments foster a coherent towel and mitt combination that enables a user to fasten a mitt to a towel with great convenience and ease. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A towel and mitt combination comprising: a towel comprising a tab, the tab comprising a front fastener; and a mitt comprising a mitt fastener, wherein the mitt fastener is configured to be releasably secured to the front fastener; wherein the mitt is configured to be operatively and removably connected to the towel via the mitt fastener and the front fastener, when the mitt fastener is releasably secured to the front fastener; wherein the front fastener is spaced from an edge of the towel, or the mitt fastener is spaced from left and right edges of the mitt; and wherein the tab further comprises proximal and distal fasteners and is configured to be formed into a loop when the distal fastener is releasably secured to the proximal fastener, and wherein the loop is configured to be removably connected to an object. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The towel and mitt combination of claim 1, wherein the front fastener is spaced from the edge of the towel. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The towel and mitt combination of claim 1, wherein the mitt fastener is spaced from the left and right edges of the mitt. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The towel and mitt combination of claim 1, wherein the object is selected from the group consisting of an appliance, drawer, chair, cabinet, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The towel and mitt combination of claim 1, wherein the proximal and distal fasteners are positioned on a rear side of the tab. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The towel and mitt combination of claim 5, wherein the front fastener is positioned on a front side of the tab that is opposite to the rear side of the tab. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The towel and mitt combination of claim 1, wherein at least one of the front and mitt fasteners is selected from the group consisting of a snap, button, clasp, clip, carabiner, buckle, D-ring, magnetic fastener, hook, hook and loop fastener, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 8 A towel and mitt combination comprising: a towel comprising a tab, wherein the tab comprises a front fastener; and a mitt comprising a mitt fastener, wherein the mitt fastener is configured to be releasably secured to the front fastener; wherein the mitt is configured to be operatively and removably connected to the tab via the mitt fastener and the front fastener, when the mitt fastener is releasably secured to the front fastener; and wherein the tab further comprises proximal and distal fasteners and is configured to be formed into a loop when the distal fastener is releasably secured to the proximal fastener, and wherein the loop is configured to be removably connected to an object. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The towel and mitt combination of claim 8, wherein the object is selected from the group consisting of an appliance, drawer, chair, cabinet, and combinations thereof. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The towel and mitt combination of claim 8, wherein the proximal and distal fasteners are positioned on a rear side of the tab. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The towel and mitt combination of claim 10, wherein the front fastener is positioned on a front side of the tab that is opposite to the rear side of the tab. ### Claim 12 A towel and mitt combination comprising: a towel comprising a tab, wherein the tab comprises a proximal fastener; and a mitt comprising a mitt fastener, wherein the mitt fastener is configured to be releasably secured to the proximal fastener; wherein the mitt is configured to be operatively and removably connected to the tab via the mitt fastener and the proximal fastener, when the mitt fastener is releasably secured to the proximal fastener; and wherein the tab further comprises a distal fastener and is configured to be formed into a loop when the distal fastener is releasably secured to the proximal fastener and when the mitt fastener is not secured to the proximal fastener, and wherein the loop is configured to be removably connected to an object when the mitt is not connected to the tab via the proximal fastener. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The towel and mitt combination of claim 12, wherein the tab is configured to be removably connected to an object when the mitt is not connected to the tab via the proximal fastener. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The towel and mitt combination of claim 12, wherein the proximal and distal fasteners are positioned on a rear side of the tab. ### Claim 15 A towel and mitt combination comprising: a towel comprising a tab, wherein the tab comprises a hole, a distal fastener, a proximal end, a distal end, a front side, and a rear side that is opposite to the front side, and wherein the hole extends from the front side to the rear side and is positioned towards the proximal end, and the distal fastener is positioned towards the distal end; a mitt comprising a mitt fastener, wherein the distal fastener is configured to be releasably secured to the mitt fastener through the hole; wherein the mitt is configured to be operatively and removably connected to the tab via the mitt fastener and the distal fastener, and the tab is configured to be formed into a loop, when the distal fastener is releasably secured to the mitt fastener through the hole, and wherein the loop is configured to be removably connected to an object. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The towel and mitt combination of claim 15, wherein the distal fastener is positioned on the rear side of the tab. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The towel and mitt combination of claim 15, wherein at least a portion of either the distal fastener or the mitt fastener is configured to be positioned within the hole, when the distal fastener is releasably secured to the mitt fastener through the hole.
