Help With Cleaning Out Cage??

[Creampuff]

Hello Hamster Central,

I am wondering about how to thoroughly clean my hamster's cage. I have done it before, just wondering if there's a better way. I basically take everything out and throw away the bedding (but save some so it smells like her) and then clean out the bottom of the cage with soap and water. It seems to stress out my hamster. Am I doing a good job, or is there a better way to clean it out?

Thank you! Also thanks for reading this!
