If you put your dirty blade in the sheath do you need to clean the sheath as well, and how do you do that?

How do i clean knife sheath. My fallkniven modern bowie was on my hip as i got into a physical scuffle it is completely dusty full of fine dust way up on the inside of the sheath and also my fallkniven f1x sheath. Oil on blase soap on sheath? But difference between leather and plastic?

I bought a Civivi Elementum with Ultem scales about 9-10 months ago and the D2 blade is really collecting a lot of rust, I live in a very humid area right next to the coast in NC and I’ve used alcohol and even used a potato 🥔, surprisingly it got all the rough spots off but it’s still looks like it could use some more cleaning, I figured I’d try nail polish remover to see if it’ll get what is still on it off, just wanted to make sure that it wasn’t going to ruin the blade, I don’t mind some discoloration/patina but that rust color on the blade has got to go…, I’ve seriously been considering trying to find a used Elementum with a S35VN blade and then just switch the blade to the one with the Ultem scales, when/if I can find one for cheap enough that is, and when I can afford it that is…, the Ultementum would be perfect with a S35VN blade…😮‍💨
