Should I clean the inside of my piano?

You only need to clean the inside of a piano every 5-10 years. When it's time to do this, make sure it's done right by contacting a professional (& reputable) piano cleaner in your area. Don't wipe all keys at once. Avoid getting between the keys wet by wiping each key at a time, up and down.
