actually I have a spray can of carb cleaner I use.

I take the dies outside every time I use them and clean them well and then relube them.

A lot of my dies haven't been used in years and I clean them as I use them. It's a small task when the carb cleaner is used.

I put alcohol on a Q-tip and clean out seating dies once in awhile (probably about 3 times a year for dies that I have mounted or in turret inserts. I also pull the decapping assemblies and do the same for my sizing dies.

Carb cleaner would probably work better but having to haul 30-40 die sets downstairs and outside would make it a pain.
