Default new mower

After too much fighting with the wheels of my old American Yard Products
mower, I finally got a new mulching mower today! (Hopefully the wheels stay
on this one!) What's the best way to keep the bottom of a mulching mower
clean? Any tips?

When I mow before applying weed'n'feed should I mulch or bag and should I
mow high or low?

I use my pressure washer. Oh and spray some wd-40 or graphite based lube
on it before you use it, it may inhibit grass sticking somewhat.

Mow high, you'll leave more foliage for the weed control to stick to.
(be sure the grass&weeds are damp first)

You can also use, believe it not, generic "PAM" spray. It's
non-toxic, bio-degradable on whatever you mow over. Spray silicone is also
nice. Just remember that the overspray will be slippery and could hurt
grass (as opposed to concrete).
