Multi-use towels, cleaning cloths and sponges will pick up moisture, bacteria and food residues during their use and allow the growth of bacteria while they are damp. They can then spread bacteria onto food contact surfaces and hands which can contaminate the food. That is the main reason that wiping cloths must be kept in a clean sanitizing solution between uses.
