I clean out the collection cup every week - I try to do twice a week. Skims much better when clean.
As far as the skimmer body and pump.....I would have to take my sump out from under the tank to get the skimmer out, so it's hasn't been cleaned in 5 years. Never get gunk in the skimmer body though - is it getting light to grow algae??

I find if I rinse it out and wipe it off once or twice a week it does a better job
