I've transitioned solely to newspaper for all my BPs (my sand boa has ground walnut shells) but when I had them on reptibark (which I much prefer, but is of course more expensive) I would only spot-clean. When I scrubbed down their tub, I just threw away the substrate. For me, it seems silly to put dirty substrate (because it is dirty. Spotcleaning the poop or urates doesn't remove the stuff that's been peed on) back into a fresh, clean tub.
Do you feed inside the enclosure or do you use a feeding tub? I know opinions vary, but I do not remove my girl from her home to feed her. I was just curious about feeding on this substrate and the chance for ingestion while feeding. Is it pretty safe for a BP!
