The given statement saying it is proper to put away the knives and the cups in the drawers after towel drying them is false. Towel drying them will make them susceptible to the bacteria. It is better that the utensils should be air-dried. The towel may contain a lot of the microorganisms. They cling to the moist and get transferred to the utensils when the towel is used to dry those dishes.
Hence, the answer is 'false'.
