He can use them as kitchen rags.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Can men wear shorts, jeans or Western clothes?

“Jeans is a western type of clothing which is generally worn by people who are not committed to Deen. Hence, Muslims should avoid adopting the western culture and they should refrain from wearing this type of clothing.”
