Pad Sensitivity Decrease

After several years of consistent use, I have noticed a significant decrease in the sensitivity of my pads recently. Sometimes I press them and they don't work. This happens often enough to make me a bit nervous for live performance. Anybody have any experience with this? Do they need a cleaning? How would I do that?

Mine is still like new, but I probably don't use as heavily add you do. I did replace my rotary encoders after maybe two years and think I need to replace one again soon.
Anyways there are replacement pads an some guidance in the shop: https://synthstrom.com/product/replacement-pads/
If you're going to go through the trouble to disassemble your Deluge for cleaning, you might just as well replace the pads with new ones. Just my two cents.
I could have sworn I had seen an offer earlier to send it in for maintenance with replacement of various parts. Maybe that was an add-on to the OLED retrofit offer though.
