Though I have known those that fall into the 'clean freak' category, you really have to make cleaning the screen part of your routine for this to be a feasible option. This thing will last forever without any doubt if you do this. If you do happen to let this thing get funky though, good luck cleaning it. Even if you heat soak it, the burnt fibers, ABV, goo, skin from your forearm, etc., will stay in place and keep that Lil' Summbits clogged until it eventually pricks your finger (and it will absolutely happen) deep enough while cleaning it, that you throw it away. BUT, it also does exactly what I bought it to do, so they deserve all 5 of those stars.
