Use the Trend or Rockler's saw blade cleaning fluid. Soak a little, use either a brass brush or a really stiff brush to clean any stubborn spots.
Sharpen with a diamond card or the sticks shown above. Clamp whichever you use to the table and stroke the flat of the cutter, NOT the outside edge. A diamond stone should take no more than3-6 strokes total. 3 on medium grit, 3 on finer grit. Clean first, of course.
Cutting no more than 1/8 inch per pass is a pretty safe rule for any router cuts.
