Put bootcovers over them every time you skate, if you intend to re-sell them, shiny white really boosts the price.

Dry your blades and the bottom of your skates thoroughly.

Always, ALWAYS keep soft towelling soakers on the blades when not in use. Never keep them in hard guards, unless you are walking around.
