Is it allowed to hit ping pong ball before it bounces on the table?
Let's keep things simple and say that you should never, in any situation, hit the ball if it hasn't touched your side of the table first. That is known as volley or “obstruction”, and it's an illegal shot in table tennis. If you do this, you lose the point.

What do you wipe down a ping pong table with?
It is important to remember, most ping pong tables are made of wood. Wood absorbs water, and not in a good way. Don't drench your table in water or use any harsh chemicals, including rubbing alcohol. Instead, a damp (water) cloth can work for light dirt or spot cleaning.
