Ideally you should clean your tools after each use. If you let the sap sit on them too long it becomes harder and harder to clean off, and can start to pit the metal if left on too long. Most times I clean my tools every time I use them, but with life comes other responsibilities that cut into my bonsai time. Sometimes I have to do whatever work I can get in and sometimes that means I have to wait a day or 2 after to clean my tools.
