Hi, I only clean one when I see crud on it. In the early days of CDs a small amount of dirt or a scratch was always a problem. Now most players can handle nearly any kind of a problem and you will never know it. I think my Oppo could play through a cracked CD and not miss a beat.
Vinyl however, I clean when first acquired and about every 4-6 months later if I play it a lot. One product (OT here sure, but good to pass on information) called "In The Groove" is funky as all get out to see , but works great and is cheap. It looks like a small paint roller and has a surface like a Gummy Bear (washable). It removes dust and lint like a magnet. I love it and it only costs about $20.
