    I spot clean when they go to the bathroom, and I fully clean out the enclosure once a month.

    I clean everytime they deficate or urinate. I use newspaper as bedding and the bins often windup covered in excrement. So I clean and disinfect at those times, usually not more than once a week per animal.

    This ^. Usually it equates to about once a week but some of mine like to hold onto theirs for a bit...leave a little here, a little there and then BAM! Regardless, I clean the entire tub and water bowl plus any hides (if they're in there) any time they urinate or defecate. Full meal deal: paper towel the liquid or pile(s), F10 to sterilize, deoderizer after the F10 has been wiped up, then new bedding and on to the next one.

    Everytime they poop or pee. Everything comes out, and everything gets wiped down with f10.

    I voted more than once a month but it's every time there's something to clean in the tub - poop, pee, spilt water, shed. Sometimes the food makes a mess so it's usually weekly.
