Then vacuum when ever you feel like it...
You really can't vacuum too much unless you have a planted tank where it's not normally necessary. I do 2x 25% pwc's per week and vacuum each time. I have sand substrate and any waste sits right on the surface, is visible and is easily removed.
Keeping the substrate clean has no downsides, it will only be beneficial (again, unless your tank is planted in which the waste becomes like fertilizer). It won't effect your beneficial bacteria, keeps your water clean, nitrAtes low and simply looks better being clean
