Cleaning pickguard

Noob question here: if he removes the pick guard, does he have to worry about it warping out of shape? I think I was reading about that in another thread about buying pick gaurds that have sat on the shelf for a long time.

I've taken a number of pick guards off and never had one warp in any way. I guess if you put it somewhere hot there's a chance, especially if it's a laminated plastic with different types/densities of plastic sandwiched. I've never experienced it though. I know that doesn't help much.
