    Sometimes a tap but most often just wipe with fingers. You can feel it getting clean. Takes minimal time but yes leads too faster/better filing and longer file life.

    I always do the 1/2 turn, stroke and then wipe the file thing Magnus mentions, makes a big difference. But Ive never tried the apple cider vinegar thing. Anyone else tried it?
