I put some turps, and frankford arsenal polish stuff. The polish provides some fine 'grit' and the turps helps with a coating to prevent discoloration plus I think it helps with a bit of lube in the press(using carbide dies). I add maybe every 5th use. Never have washed media, but do try not to add total mud caked brass in - maybe 12000-15000 9mm and 3000-4000 223, plus 500 others on same media.
I tumble then just tip the media back in bowl, lid on and leave till next time.
I've just moved, and tipped out the media. The new walnut takes longer to clean.......
