I spray everything down with a mist of LPS-1. It's a Lubricant that disperses moisture and doesn't attract dust. I've found it to be safe on everything so far. Also I do have Gel Silca packs laying around to absorb moisture and I do lay clothes over my vises after misting them with LPS-1 if I know I won't be using them for a bit.
Also with my gauge blocks I try never to touch the gauge ends with my fingers as to prevent the oils from my hand from getting on them. When I'm done with them I always make sure to wipe them down with a clean lint free cloth (Tissues are perfect for this, or if you wanna be real fancy you can use the cloth intended for cleaning off glasses)
