I have a wet bag similar to this hanging off the oven door handle:

And then I have some unpaper towels (the kind without the snaps) that I use to clean up messes. I drop them in the wet bag when they're dirty, and then just wash them when I'm doing laundry.
Cut up old t-shirts are our go-to. Here's how and what we do. If they seem to repel rather than absorb, you can boil the fabric to strip it.
As for the Chex Mix question, a large cotton tea towel should work for this. Just wash it when you're done.

i just cut up some of DH tshirts today. i wiped down/polished all wooden furniture. cleaned all picture frames and started on windows. works a lot better than paper towels since you don't get the paper residue.
