Using a spray bottle to clean countertops is better than a cloth and cleaning solution.

When you use a soaked cloth to "clean" your counters, the moisture seeps into the tiny cracks and crevices and makes it look streaky right away. Plus it takes more towels. If you use a spray bottle, the droplets are smaller and will evaporate much faster. This keeps the surface looking cleaner longer. I have also noticed that with a spray bottle, I actually "clean" the surface instead of just wiping it down with a dirty rag.
