I wash it when it's dirty. That's a good time to check the frame and tighten anything that's loose. Throw some lube on the chain when it's dry, making sure to wipe off the excess.
In the spring, after the weather dries out, I'll probably replace the chain and brake pads. Maybe re-wrap the bars with nice clean cork tape.
