Still just a rookie here but it's my understanding that if you're hand holding for a sip, you need the IS, but while it's on the table, you should turn that off. And common dish detergent should be able to clean it just fine without harm.
True, unless you are using a fast swallow speed, say 1/500 or faster, in which case the IS makes little difference. But when using a speed like that make sure your have the coffee temp set to auto, or it may go done too hot!
