I leave it for months as long as its dry but prune it when it gets too big. If you feel that you need to clean the tubes and remove the hoard in case it looks a bit iffy, simply replace about half of it so your hamster doesn't get upset.

She may move into her house yet. Does she have nesting material? A big heap of torn into strips plain white toilet paper placed near the house may encourage her.
You could post a photo of your set up if you like.

I have a number of Hamster Heavens but take tubes, shelves and penthouse out to create a more natural set up.

There's a thread here called "Let's see your cages" on the Forum under Housing with different kind of set ups. I like browsing there.
