I don't. I have a VPI HW16 beside the table and for a long time would do a distilled water rinse and vacuum before each side. What a hassle.

So now I clean once, real good with Walker Enzyme 4 Step. Zero-stat (and sometimes also Radio Shack Bulk Tape Eraser) before each play. Also spray Static Guard, though that is more for sound quality than dust. But it nothing wrong with a 2fer.

Always wash my hands first so if I see a speck and it doesn't blow off with the Z then either get it with a finger or if there's a few of em then the good ol' Discwasher brush. But that doesn't happen often.

Normally I just play em. 

My opinion, people are way too obsessed. Get a little perspective. Vinyl ain't digital. The noise is extraneous, not interwoven. Two completely different things. Don't try and put legs on a snake. Clean em, sure. But to enjoy. Don't make it an end in itself.
Having run some of the best clean rooms in Aerospace, let me assure you they come from the factory dirty. Get a decent process, wet vac machine or better.

then you can decide on a periodic re-clean interval
I use an Okki Nokki with L'Art Du Son record cleaning solution (diluted per instructions). Then a couple of rinses and vacs with distilled water. 

Let them dry. One application of GruvGlide will remove any static electricity. Store them in Mofi sleeves.

Hit them with the Audioquest carbon fiber brush before play. 

Also use Onzow to clean the stylus. 

I prefer to purchase new vinyl. Most of my stuff plays with very little extraneous noise.
