How does ふいた あと work here?

Vた + あと means after doing V.

So:

• ふいた = wiped
• あと = after

Together, ふいたあと means after wiping.

This pattern is very common:

• 食べたあと = after eating
• 帰ったあと = after going home
• 勉強したあと = after studying

In this sentence, it shows that the action of wiping the table happened first, and then the other action happened afterward.

Why is it ふいた and not ふいて or ふく?
