For setup, I went by sound. Eperiment for yourself and you will find the optimal pick-up height. Listen to the balance you are getting from each pick-up. Typically the bridge pick-up will need to be closer to the strings to get a strong signal. Then neck pup does not need to be nearly as close.
As far as adjusting strings, I would do this first before the pups. Adjust them to your liking. Do you like your action low? Do you like your action a little higher for slap?
As for cleaning, I always cleaned my fingerboard with a soft wet cloth and a little dish detergent. It will get all the gunk off and will not hurt the the finish. Follow up with a clean dry microfiber cloth. Do not us lemon oil or any kind of petroleum product on the fingerboard.
