How much should a pen be used to keep it in good shape?

Welcome fountain pen enthusiasts from around the world! Share your fountain pen obsession with fellow enthusiasts. Pens, inks, paper - everything fountain pen related is welcome!
i’ve always cleaned my pens by using warm water (not hot) and running it through until there’s no ink in the nib, barrel, anywhere. then i place on a lint free cloth or microfiber towel and let them air dry. if you fill too soon, you’ll get a watery mess.
also as i’m sure you know, you’ll want to put down something because ink will get everywhere when you’re cleaning and it’s super hard to get off.
(if you use platinum carbon like me, good luck removing it from anything, haha)
