I think it would be different for different people. I have a deep sink in my ballroom with a hose, so my method would be different than someone who has to carry their tubs to a different room. Also, my system for cleaning my ARS racks is different from cleaning my baby racks (which are three different brands). I've developed my own methods and my wife has her methods when she does the cleaning. When we work together, we use even a different method - splitting the jobs of washing, drying, cutting sheets for substrate, changing out the deli cup with fresh water, etc. I believe that it is easier to clean if you have a large group of extra tubs for your racks, regardless of method. I'm just thankful that I've got help with all of the cleaning! It can get to be a big job and it has to be done frequently.
