I'm in the same situation, all my reloading stuff is kept in a wooden shed behind the house. I just spritz them with whatever light oil I have on hand at the time, even if it is WD-40. Remoil, Barricade, anything works really.

I store my dies in a drawer and stand the die boxes on end so the labels face up. I also set the dies in the box so they are in an upright position when stored so that oil does not pool in the die cavity. Been working so far. I don't bother cleaning them off when I pull them out to use them. About the only time I ever clean the dies is when I may have some cast bullet lube build up in my pistol dies.
