Best Answer

Some materials used to make cloth - such as cotton or polyesters - are not good conductors if they are completely dry.

But if such a cloth is damp or wet the water it holds will easily conduct electricity and this can cause dangerous shocks or start fires if the voltage and current are allowed to get high enough.
