As the Title.
I've recently swapped my Temp/Humidity Sensor after having it working for 6 years.
Whilst I've cleaned the Outside of it, I've neglected to clean inside the Sensor Suite.
Just wondering when or if anyone else does regular maintenance on there sensors?
I normally only clean the Rain Gauges tipping mechanism to stop spiders, and the the hole for leaves.
Maybe after seeing what was inside the Stevenson Screen I need to have more regular maintenance there as well.

Re: How Often Do you Clean Yours
At least once a year, but where I live now it is getting closer to twice a year.

I must be a Dirty Boy.
Think I'll need to go to a yearly Maintenance as well now.

About every 6 months for me. I usually use an air duster inside, just to keep everything ticking along nicely..
