I'm not worried about leadscrew wear. Given my age and the amount of threading I do, any wear problems with the lathe aren't worth my concern.
However, keeping swarf out of the screw is desirable. Here's my approach to doing that...
A sawed-off toothbrush head held to the carriage with a magnet will keep the lead screw free of swarf.
