Holy bitter reply, Batman! All she was saying is that newspaper is so easy and cheap to replace, there is no need to spot clean - you just pull out the soiled paper and replace it with fresh. It's about as easy as it gets. If there were a big known problem with aspen, then most of the big breeders (in the US anyway) wouldn't be using it. Aspen is the #1 recommended shavings-style bedding for most snakes - balls and corns included (again, in the US).
As far as your beechwood question, I don't know of anything that would suggest using it would have any negative effects on your snakes. Use whichever bedding style is easiest for you to perform maintenance with.
