Hi, thanks the vines are just wrapped around a hollow bamboo pole. The other 2 are actual tree branches. The perch holders are drilled in and the branches are fit into them. They slip in and out easily and make a great resting spot for him outside of the cage when I clean.
I did a complete clean and disinfect today which involves a high power shop vac and obviously removal of all the gear.
I'd say NO,, not hard to clean. The most effort required is the removal of substrate and the actual wipe down.
I use a big dust pan to remove the sub, then vacuum out the remaining dust then the cleaning solutions are wiped on and off. Soaking and drying the decor is what it is.
I semi enjoy it so I don't find it to daunting a task. Normally I can go 2 or more months with spot cleaning and small replacement areas of substrate if I keep my daily checks up.
