I'm pretty sure paper towels will just encourage molds to start growing in there. My suggestion would be (what I've read before) to get a bucket with water in it, then hang a TOWEL (not paper towel) upside down so it's partly in the water. The water will release off of the towel semi quickly

Yeah, that's probably the easiest cheapest way.
