People have different amounts of skin oil and alkalinity/acidity in the make-up the oil and water produced by the fingers/hands. Some people will go through strings more quickly than others.
Me, I'm like allthumbs. I'd rather just change them out. There's nothing quite like a fresh set of strings. And it doesn't matter what you do as far as cleaning them or boiling them. They will not be the same as a fresh set.

It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
