People do "degrading" work all the time and at a much larger scale than this. I think a more important part is to get everyone on board with not degrading people because we're all just paying each other for things we don't want to or can't do anyway. A coder wouldn't expect a client to clean up old comments in source code because that's an expected part of the job.
I do think we should also be considerate to each other though and not leave a total mess for someone to clean up. If someone at the table is getting judgy about you cleaning your space they're probably entitled. If staff asks you to stop though keep in mind they may have a specific way they clean tables and they don't want you disrupting that flow (this is especially true for stacking dishes or piling things like silverware and napkins on something).
