Clean or not clean?

I wash the sprues of a kit about as often as i clean up the bench ops:ops:

No, I don't wash my sprues and only once have I needed do and that was an old Italeri SR-71 Blackbird kit.
Modern kits doesn't seem to have mould release on them for some reason? Perhaps they're using a different polymer mixture? I don't know.
Also using Tamiya paint with 50% iso and no primer this isn't an issue anyway since Tamiya paint sticks to everything!

I dont wash the sprues. I just clean the model with IPA before painting it.
