Throttle Body Cleaning: Is it Necessary?

I've spent quite a bit of time researching this particular procedure and I am seeing mixed answers across the board. Is it necessary to clean the throttle body every now and then? Or is it best to leave it alone unless I am getting specific issues pertaining to the throttle body? My C230 currently has 135k and there is no evidence of it ever being cleaned. Is this considered a 'maintenance item'? If so, how often should it be done?
