RE: cleaning dies
Hello Shewe,
I just use a good spray like Powder Blast or some good quality brake cleaner that will wash the inside of the die out before I apply a very light coat of Teflon type oil like "Rem Oil" to keep the die from rusting. This seems to work for me really well.

RE: cleaning dies
I rarely use to decapping tool in the die! I hand punch them before tumbling then I can get the primer pocket clean and check the flash hole at the same time.I would be timid about tumbling them then useing the die punch in case the flash hole had media blocking it and damaging the punch.But like they said spray the die out with the spray cleaner and should be good to go!
