Clean early and often, doesn't matter much how. Convenience and available time regulate your technique. Relube, too. Keep high pressure away from bearings, modern lubes are better, marginally, than gear oil, or Sturmey Archer Cycle Oil, which are amazing magnets for grit. Less lube is more, usually. Have fun experimenting for your conditions!
