Hi Dot,
Yes, it's a good idea to wash out your container on occasion. Bacteria can harbor in the little cracks and crevices of the dried starter in the jar, and that's not always a good thing. Just put your starter in a bowl to relax on wash day, and it will be just fine. Every 2-3 weeks is generally sufficient.
