Why are you re-lubricating lubed switches? If you are redoing the lube, are you using a solvent to remove the previous application? What sorts of problems are you having?
I just got into custom boards and I've had Strawberries for two months now. They've been perfect. I can't complain about the factory applied lube.
Because factory lubed switches aren't always lubed the right way that's why, and I much prefer to do it my self with krytox.
Then the best way would be to remove the factory lube using a solvent, or don't buy pre-lubed switches to begin with. Just rinsing with water won't remove any lubricant.
The best possible thing to do would be to put them in a bag of isopropyl alcohol, put that bag in an ultrasonic cleaner water bath.
Second best option is isopropyl alcohol, a toothbrush, and some good old elbow grease, pun intended.
I always just lube over it as if there wasn't lube there to begin with
Do you use another lube or you adjust the lube already on the switch?
Another lube, like krytox or whatever. I'm sure it's not 100% optimal to have them mix but it's probably fine
