usually you can tell when the cage is a little ripe. But it is still good to clean every few weeks. Hope's cage is in my room so sometimes I can't tell when it is time (you get pretty accustomed to the smell)

I spot clean whenever they poop - remove the offending substance and dirty bit of the substrate, plus clean/disinfect any part of viv, hides or plants that have been squirted in the process!

I do a full shakedown every couple of months - completely empty & disinfect the viv (inside & out), disinfect all fittings and replace all substrate.
