I always carry along a face towel, wipe any sweat off my gears while out shooting. When I finish for the day, I will 1st wipe the outer body of the lens, body etc with a clean cloth after I had wash my hands. This step is important to me becos I dont want to transfer any dirt/sweat into the external parts. Then I will clean the lens filter. After all is done, remove lens from body and always put the cap on. I will clean the body 1st, just simple blow clean the sensor and clean the contacts and mount. All the time holding the body facing downwards. Put back body cap. Blow clean the lens and also clean the contacts and mounts. I will only use lens cleaning solution if i cannot remove any stains from the glass with the lens cleaning cloth.
For extreme conditions, like shooting at the beach, I will wipe clean the gears with a clean damp cloth and proced with above procedure. after the shoot, the gears will visit CSC for cleaning.
Putting my gears in dry-cabinets is standard procedure when they are cleaned. I have 2 drycabinets and a "quarantine" dry box. The drybox is at very low humidity to adsorb moisture fast. This is used when my gears are exposed to wet condition like rain. One day in the dry box den transfer back to the normal dry cabinets. Why 2 dry cabinets for me? its becos one (60L) is for seldom used equipments and one (100L) for frequently used equipments.
Acessories are easier to clean. Just wipe flash, cords, cable release etc with damp cloth and air dry. Tripods, just clean with damp cloth unless it had been dipped in water or used near the beach. Tripod will be flash with clean water near the beach itself and when I reach home, it will be dismantled and washed. Fixed back and apply high grade grease on moving parts, just a dab will do.
These are my own procedures and may sounds like a lot of work but it usually take me less than an hour to clean 2 body and 2 lens. (my usual gears in my bag)
