something not mentioned here is cleaning your windscreens.  just a drop or two of detergent or even dishsoap, a nice cleaning and then let dry will clean those puppies right up.  a must do for anyone who tapes in smokey clubs ever

about how often do you clean your windscreens? never thought about doing that, but it definitely makes sense.

i do it about every 3 months, depends how dirty they get.  could do it as often as you like- not really bad for the screens at all

let me rephrase- all sorts of hot water isnt good for your screens- also using hot air to dry them isnt so good either- just let them air dry (not on your mic)
