Unless you are noticing problems with the sound of the microphones, don't do it.

Agreed. Something like that is best done by an official neumann service center.

I thought you just baught those, what happened?

If there's nothing wrong with the sound, you're just throwing money out the window.

Unless they are full of smoke or something, there is no reason to have them cleaned.  Cleaning removes a bit of the gold sputtering and that is something you want to avoid for as long as possible.
