I have two types of cleaning I do, daily and weekly.
Daily I will check it for obvious grime. If I see some, I spit on it and rub it with my sleeve. The crystal gets dusty and get fingerprints on it, so it usually gets a special spit and/or sleeve cleaning a couple of times a day.
Once a week I toss it in the washer with a load of clothes -- preferably on warm, but I'll use a cold setting if I'm doing colors. I used to just toss it in last, but it got terribly noisy, especially during the spin cycle, so now I'll usually tuck it into a pants pocket in the load.
