I don't know if anyone's going to read this, but I thought I'd post an update:
I spot cleaned her cage tonight, and she did really well. She didn't hiss, buzz, or teeth chatter. She did seem a little annoyed that I was moving things around, but she didn't seem stressed out or angry. I think what helped was that I didn't take her out of her cage this time, so she was able to watch what I was doing and see that I wasn't after her food hoard. I also started out slowly, so I didn't startle her. She did bite one of my gloves, but it wasn't aggressive.
