Is it possible to clean the inside of a saya? The main thing that prevents me from trying one is the thought of crap or gunk growing inside.
 
I use compressed air then a shop vac. My saya stay in the bag, so I only get them for gyuto that will be in use all day. Other knives get a kydex or felt edge guard for the reason above.
 
Agree with above...knives should always be diligently cleaned and dried before they are put away, regardless of protective storage method. Aside from gunk, I don't want my blades to rust. I don't take my sayas to work. I pick the knives I am going to bring that day, leave the saya on my display rack, then use felt lined knife guards, or leather sheaths to take them to and from work.
