If one simply must clean their tack, then the least we can get out of it is a little social media sympathy, self congratulations, and token of artistic remembrance on our instagram accounts.
Some folks have made a real art of capturing their tack cleaning:

In a best case scenario, tack cleaning is a social affair, and the pristine equipment is a pleasant excuse rather than a dire necessity:
