Cleaning Sump Tips

Any tips for cleaning a sump? I have a 50 gallon tank with a sump located underneath with skimmer, filter, heater, bio balls ............My water tests have been good and I do weekly 10% water changes. I have noticed deposits/scum in the sump. With the sump being only inches off the floor are there any tricks to cleaning it? or should I shut everything down and do a complete scrub down on the sump?
How often would you recommend a sump cleaning? I started my tank in early December.
Thanks!
