I washed cloth and let it to dry to my hostel, dogs at night might come there frequently. I touched the cloth but the cloth is wet and I don't know whether dogs chew my that wet cloth portion ,then I washed my hand with lifebuoy soap twice and then I touches my eyes mouth. Is rabies transmitted through this manner.

Fortunately, rabies can't go through unbroken skin. People can get rabies only via a bite from a rabid animal or possibly through scratches, abrasions, open wounds, or mucous membranes in contact with saliva. You need not worry.
