I will also recommend using a alcohol wipe or some rubbing alcohol. Regular soap isn't designed to truly remove the oils from your skin.

+1 for alcohol. Ripped that idea off from the She-P practices. Keep a small squirt-bottle of it in the car, apply, dry, and immediately put on the cath.
Never had a single blow-off since I started doing it. Working dive instructor... so I'm wearing one damn near every day. In the heat of the Mexican jungle summers.

Just ordered a new case of catheters (100) and 2 x boxes (54 each) of these.

I had a blow-out once, when I didn't use one of these. Have not had a blowout after using one.
