"make clean": how it's needed?

I have this doubt, the "standard" procedure to build a kernel(2.2.x/2.4.x) is:
        make menuconfig
        make dep
        make clean // ... when?
        make modules
        make bzImage
        ...

so, when I really _MUST_ run "make clean"?
        always?
        only after that I have applied a patch?

I think that many old "*.o" files are still good... and so, why I should
recompile them every time?

Bye,
        Paolo
