Wipe your strings down completely, better still grab each individual one with a rag and run the run up and down the whole length. Many people wipe only the top and forget about the bottom part of the string.

Then apply a layer of fast fret before you store the guitar in an enclosed case, keeping your guitar in the open air will only accelerate the deterioration.
