It's not about cleanliness, it's about preventing them and/or me from getting hurt when I'm handling: knife, boiling water, hot plate... The kitchen counter is for cooking when I'm using it. When I'm not using it the cats can do whatever they want on it, but they usually are not interested If I'm not using it.
