#1 Plates and tableware
Giving the plates a fast wipe with a paper towel because they haven’t been used in a while is not a good idea. You will be wasting the paper towels on something quite useless: not only will you not be doing much but moving around dust, but you also run the risk of leaving behind paper particles that you will ingest later.
Instead, you use a damp towel or cloth to wipe off all the plates and tableware you might need. It’s going to get the job done way faster, and you can just dry the towel and use it again tomorrow.
