Dry rag is quite a good insulator for the same reasons other insulators are. There are very few 'loose' electrons.

This of course, ceases to be the case if wet.

Why is a rag a better conductor of heat when wet than when dry?

A dry rag has quite a bit of air trapped in its structure, and air is an insulator of heat. Replace the air with water, which conducts heat much better than air does, and the heat conductivity will be greatly increased.

Why a static charge builds up on a glass ornament when polished with a cotton rag and not on a metal water tap in the kitchen when polished with the same rag?

The glass ornament is an insulator, which retains the static charge generated during friction with the cotton rag. In contrast, the metal water tap is a conductor, which disperses the static charge quickly due to its ability to conduct electricity. This difference in material properties leads to the accumulation of static charge on the glass ornament but not on the metal water tap.
