I don't know if you mean literally to have the clarinet cleaned or you mean having it "overhauled" or serviced mechanically. In either case IMO you should always have the work done by a clarinet, or at least, a woodwind specialist. Cleaning the whole clarinet (body and keywork) will mean disassembling it. Taking it apart and reassembling it is a job best done, IMO, by a specialist either in clarinet repair or flute, oboe and clarinet work.

That said, there's the question of whether or not such a repair person or shop exists in your area. If you're looking for recommendations, you might give some general idea of where you are. Who did the pad replacements you mention?
