Everyone seems to have their own methods.
This works for me.
After every use, I wipe the shaft down with a damp, not wet, paper towel. I immediately follow with a dry paper towel. That will keep it pretty clean.
To keep it smooth, just go over the shaft with some type of burnisher, like a piece of leather or the burnishing side of a Q-Whiz.
Once every few months, you can use a damp, not wet, Clorox Magic Eraser, to clean the shaft well. Follow with a damp paper towel, a dry paper towel and a burnisher.
I have heard of many other methods, including the use of lighter fluid, to clean shafts. They probably all work. You just have to determine which method you feel comfortable with. I am most comfortable with plain water. I have only been using the Magic Eraser for a year or so, but it seems to do a good job and I have seen no ill effects on the wood.
