There is no strict regulation on how often you should clean it. However, the best way is always clean it once you finish using it. And this applies to all you other art materials too. *The majority of the inksticks from inkston are made with natural materials. The resin added in inkstick is gelatin which is obtained from animal skin/bone/fat.
However, some professionals do not clean the inkstone because they need to make special effects with the ink. This happens especially to people who use Su Ink skills. Su Ink can be easily understood as ´left over ink´. It is try and thick. The most famous Su Ink artist is Huang Bin Hong 黄宾虹. We also once interviewed on Su Ink artist and he talked about this technique too.
I went to his studio quite often and found he has many large/ huge inkstones. Some of them seem never been cleaned while some are very clean all the time. #CleanInkstone
