Cleaning the bore on a 22LR is something you do NOT need to do often. 22 LR's don't powder foul much (they don't use much powder) and the wax coating on the bullets actually acts as a preservative when it coats the bore.
Cleaning the action on a 22RF may be a different story- or maybe not.
If the 22 RF in question is an autoloader, you may want to clean periodically to keep crud out of the action. You can do that with some of the spray degreaser/cleaners if you don't want to disassemble.
If you do use the spray cleaners, remember to relube, as the spray cleaners remove the lubricant, too.
If you are talking about a bolt, lever, or pump action, you don't need to clean those very often.
I clean my 22RF bores once a year, usually. A 22RF autoloader action I will likely clean 2 or 3 times a year. A bolt, lever or pump, once a year- if I remember to.
