The outer surface of the radiation shield should be cleaned when there is excessive dirt and 
build-up on the plates. Use a damp cloth to clean the outer edge of each ring.

Note: 

Spraying down or using water excessively to clean the radiation shield can damage the sensitive sensors 
or alter the data the ISS is transmitting. 

Check the radiation shield for debris or insect nests at 
least once a year and clean when necessary. A buildup 
of material inside the shield reduces its effectiveness 
and may cause inaccurate temperature and humidity 
readings.
