A big part of the first or second mate's job is preparing lunch for the captain and guests. This takes time away from the cockpit — especially when you factor in cleaning time. Nobody likes to see a sink full of dishes all day or crumbs and crud all over the countertops. It's best to clean up as soon as everyone is finished eating.

To make this job a lot quicker and cleaner, I like to use a lint remover to pick up the crumbs off the counter and salon furniture. You can use the same sticky lining three or four times before ripping it off and throwing it in the trash. They even have ones with a built-in air freshner to keep things smelling nice for the guests napping on the now-crumbless couch.
