Well, you could switch them to tanks which would be easier to clean? Tubes and pods and fiddly bits are the annoying bits to clean I'm sure.

The other option is just to... clean them less..? I never do full clean outs until someone dies tbh, I'll spot clean and sometimes change like 1/4-1/3 of bedding but other than pee spots and wheels (also just because of pee) nothing ever really gets dirty. I don't want to clean things for no reason and they prefer everything smelling like them so everybody wins. You also don't mention how often you're putting yourself through this rigmarole but even on the strictest cleaning schedule (i.e. not lazy, as I am lazy) cages of hamster heaven size shouldn't need done more than once every month or two.
