It’s never occurred to me to clean the pot

I do. But not every time. Usually yes.

Sometimes. I try to at least rinse mine.

For larger plants, I try to take out as much soil as I can and replace with new soil.

It is recommended as a preventative for spreading pests and microbes. If I’m not feeling too lazy, I get out as much old dirt as I can and spritz it with a little rubbing alcohol. I don’t know how effective my method is, but I’m not motivated enough to do a legitimate sanitization like a professional grower or horticulturalist might
