     if you get it cured well and don't damage it then it   
   should last in storage without any other treatments.   
   some people go as far as washing and using bleach but   
   i don't do anything other than making sure the squash   
   is dried out and cured and then treat it gently so as   
   to not cause further problems.   
      
     alas, i have gremlins here that move things around   
   and aren't all that careful so even my best efforts can   
   be ruined.  such is life.  :)   
      
     aside from how you treat a squash and how it is   
   cured then there is the basic shelf life of a squash   
   and some just are not that good of keepers compared to   
   others.
