Tha main altar cloth is not stripped except onGood Friday, to commemorate Jesus death.
On other days ,the altar vessels and corporal ( small cloth used to catch any consecrated bread flakes) are always removed after Mass to purify vessels and take care of corporal if needed. Tha altar is consecrated and should be bare except when priest is celebrating the Eucharist. The book of gospels can be on the altar before that, since it is the Word of God.
