I shot my new 220 8 times, and that netted me a sub 1" 3-shot group with federal trophy coppers. I don't want to do anything to hurt that kind of accuracy, including not cleaning and over cleaning. So what is the maintenance schedule/routine for the 220?

Basically you want to clean using products similar to what you'd use in a shotgun as you're primarily dealing with powder and plastic fouling. As for frequency, I'd say clean it if/when you start noticing the accuracy dropping off a bit.
