also what is the best way to clean the stuff from his cage?

If you're just talking "spot cleaning" it's as simple as removing any saturated areas of substrate and cleaning any decorations/hides/water bowl, etc... that came in contact with poop, urine or urates. I just scoop out the pee/poop and the substrate around it. Simple soap and water will be fine for any cleaning.

As for full enclosure cleanings, there are products that can be bought, but I have always used vinegar or a diluted bleach solution. It's as easy as pulling everything out, including the snake (I put the snake in an empty tub or a snake bag depending on which snake), decorations(to be washed) and the substrate (throw it away). Clean the entire enclosure, inside and out, with whichever method you choose, wipe everything down. Then go back and wipe everything down with just water. Let it air out, making sure there are no lingering odors of whatever cleaner I used. Meanwhile, my hides, water bowl, etc... are soaking in a diluted bleach bath. I then clean and rinse everything thoroughly and start putting everything back in...
