Do you allow your stitching to get dirty or soiled?

I'm stumped.

Someone asked a question about washing hand-dyed / opalescent fabrics at 123Stitch.com last night... and I answered that I don't wash my finished pieces because I keep my projects clean.

Now, I've been called "pedantic" (which is really NOT the right word but that's neither here nor there...)

My question:

Do you stitch in an area or in such a manner that your project gets soiled or dirty? Is it not best to keep your hands and your workstation clean?

Is there something wrong with pride in workmanship?
