I wouldn't wake him during the day to do it, wait until he wakes up at his normal time, put him somewhere safe like a carrier with some substrate to snuggle down into & then just check to see what's there, remove any old veg or food that can go off, any wet nest material but leave as much of the nest that's dry as you can so you don't remove too much of his scent.
If the rest of the cage is ok leave that until another time.
Fantastic thanks Cypher - I will check it out tonight when he is awake.
