Default Brake Squeak

Alright, i got a 97 Monte LS. I got a brake issue, well moreless an irritation than a issue i guess. So my rear drum brakes squeak whenever i let off my brakes. I brought it into a shop cuz i read in the manual that if your brakes squeak, that means the pads need to be replaced, etc. (at the time i thought it was the front brakes). Turns out the drums were squeaking, and he cleaned out the brake lines and it stopped... for a couple days. Ever since then its been doing more often but mostly whenever its a hot or mild day (60 degrees+) I was wondering how i could clean them so they can stop squeaking. Again its more embarrasing than anything to have people look at you for that lol.
