אין להסיר המפה והלחם עד אחר ברכת המזון:

(3) Before washing his hands (for mayim achronim) he should clean the house, so that no crumbs remain and become disgusting in the water used for washing. Although it is permissible to destroy crumbs that do not have a kezayis, perhaps the servant/butler will be an am ha’aretz (i.e., unlearned), (and will consider) that is permissible for him to use (the crumbs), and (he) will also place crumbs that have a kezayis that are forbidden to destroy by hand. Therefore, the host/ba’al habayis should clean first. *** And now we do not practice this because we do not remove the table and we wash our hands outside the table where there are no crumbs and there is nothing to worry about.
