My cat just gave birth, should I clean her soiled birthing area?

Question

My cat just gave birth , should I clean under her and put fresh cloth instead of what she delivered on for it is sure soiled or let her be?

It is best to use gloves and to handle her as little as possible. So a quick towel change is ok, then allow her to nurse her kittens uninterrupted, because too much handling can lead to complications.
