I've never "de-glossed anything in my life. I will wash with TSP and I'll sand, in that order. I usually dry wipe, dust or vacuum next, followed by a damp wipe. Sometimes with that damp wipe I will use a pre-packaged prep solution or make my own out of water, some lac thin or acetone and some alcohol.
I have not had any problems. Most prep work is way shy of thorough, so something oily gets left on the surface. This can be anything from cigarette smoke (not so much nowadays) to cooking grease and in between.
