I keep a spray bottle of diluted chlorhexidine in the snake room. This is why I always preach to use paper towel as a substrate. You dont even need to move the snake to clean. I sometimes just tear away the paper towel that the poop is on, remove it, spray some chlorhexidine on some paper towel, do a quick wipe down and replace some clean paper towel. Takes no time at all.
This. So much this!!!

I keep a bottle of F10SC on hand for it. I just scoop it out and a bunch of the aspen around it. Then I spray a paper towel down with F10SC, wipe the whole area and then smooth the aspen around it back down. Then once a month, I throw out all the aspen and F10SC the whole cage, then put in fresh aspen.

Thank y'all for the replies! I just moved him on unprinted newspaper from reptichip and just got the f10scxd. I know the xd has the detergent in it but should I have both on hand. One for "spot cleaning" if you will, and the other for weekly cleaning? I reckon I could just tear off the paper where the mess is then spray sc on paper towel and wipe down then full clean weekly.
I'm sure this is a lot easier than I'm making it but I tend to be a perfectionist when it comes to my boys(dogs & snake).

Personally I wake em up. I rather have clean safe places for them then a well rested dirty snake. They'll go right back to sleep once you close up their enclosure anyways.
edited to add, um... I am not sure about tearing out the newspaper part. When my noodles go on the paper, it soaks in and is pretty much all needing to come out.
