I'm sure there are lots of contributing factors, including:

     * the humidity of the environment
     * the dustiness of the environment
     * how oily or dirty the person's fingers are
     * how the person cleans the mouse

Personally, I've had very little trouble with my Mighty Mouse. My home
office environment is fairly dusty, like any other; but I wipe my
mousing surface off each morning with a cloth before using the mouse. My
mouse pad is aX-Ray Thunder 8 mouse pad, which is hard plastic rather
than the typical padded cloth type most people use. I wash my hands
fairly regularly throughout the day, as I'm kind of neurotic when it
comes to the cleanliness of my hands. I make it a point not to use the
computer if my hands are the slightest bit oily or dirty. I rarely use
liquid solutions to clean my computer equipment, including the mouse;
and when I do use liquid, it's plain water on a damp cloth or extremely
lightly soapy water.
