Wiping chalk off box calls

I was wondering if many of you clean the chalk off your box calls now that the spring season is over. Can leaving the chalk on during storage cause a problem? I've never done it and haven't noticed any issues before but I know some people recommend it.

I really don't do anything after season other than store them in container with silica packs. Now i will scotch brite the lid lightly if i feel the call needs it, if not i just continue using the call. I'm sure other have different opinions ..

I normally condition all my calls before I put them away.
I'll wipe the chalk off my box calls with a paper towel then use an alcohol pad and quickly wipe the rest of the residue off.

Wipe off paddle and rails with a paper towel, that's it.
Leaving the chalk on wont hurt, but its just going to draw in moisture from the air.

I always wipe the chalk off with a paper towel after season and even between hunts when the humidity is high to keep the chalk from getting damp.

As do I, including an occasional very light buff with green scotch brite.
