I personally have a Room that gets dusty easily so I have to clean it about twice a Week if not more.
 
before and after playing usually, just a disinfectant wipe does the trick.
So pretty much about every day.I personally do it only when it gets dusty or when I drop it on the floor by Accident.So I clean it about 2 or 3 Times a week myself.
 
About once every 2 weeks I do a full clean of all consoles and my PC both inside and out.
Your room must be very dust free than I am jealous man.My stuff gets much to dusty to wait that long.Especially regarding my Xbox360 and Ps4 where I have to watch out because of the Air System that no dusk gets into it.

My issue is im so damn "paranoid" That if I don´t keep my things clean properly it will become a very very expensive replacement. Because to much dust and fans dies or you can get a short or something like that so I clean it once every two week just to be sure they will last long because I can´t afford new shit.

Same sadly it may be to late for my Ps4 as I was reckless back then,wich only made me more Paranoid for my Xbox360 to keep it clean to keep all dusk away from the fan system.To keep it from overheating when I play it next time,one Jet Engine that turns to hot to quickly is already enough for me.
 
Whenever my PS4 pro gets loud I open it up and give it a clean. About all PS4's are nasty in how much dust they can build up, cause a blockage between the fan and heatsink becoming louder than the voices in my head for it. Those types of deals I do not do that often for fun. I do clean my controllers and stuff regularly, and handhelds. I have several toothbrushes that have no idea what the fuck they were recruited for but in my army they're made for it. Also remember for your screens: Distilled water. Two microfiber rags, wet clean and dry clean avoid alcohol and soaps in extreme moderation and on-a-need basis water and the microfiber technology will carry you through even with severe cases.
... Man, I should unhook my surround sound amplifier, open it up and give it a vaccuum but that is a bitch and a war effort in one package... Thanks for reminding me that.

I would have to open my Jet Engine to considering how loud and hot it gets,but I am not risking it.As I can't afford another one and I can't afford Repairs right now.

You also need to have new thermal paste because how sony created the thing, you'd think they were a wrathful god. If you want to clean the proper places properly in any given PS4 model, you also need to have new paste and do that as well, though, it is also helpful addition to the process. Also take it from me; Do NOT try to disconnect the +5 -5 additional power wire from the motherboard in PS4's, disconnect it from the PSU and let that thing be a pain in ass when reassembling. Better than the alternative that can happen trust me.
