Correctors are easy to clean if the OTA is designed to be easy to open, as is getting any dust out of the OTA and blowing off the primary. Anything more than that I have yet to do.

People are scared of cleaning correctors, because it has a high intimidation factor. I think people have them pictured as a thin sheet of glass, which they are not. They are really quite thick. That said, remember that the OTA will become off-balance when you lift the corrector out, due to the lack of anything to counter the mirror weight.

Regards,
Eric
