I had, technically still have, three mice like that. All work fine, but the mouse wheels have given out. Too much hand cruft, dust and crumbs I guess, as well as all the scrolling. That said, I haven’t done anything differently with other, very similar, mice and - touch wood - no others have ever done that. The problem I have with my current mouse is that, paradoxically, it somehow gets more sticky if I clean it.
