Question Spot cleaning a new hamsters cage

I've just got my first Syrian hamster the day before yesterday and my cleaning routine for my previous dwarf(whom I put in a pets at home large cage when I have totally no idea about hamsters)was spot clean every other day and full clean every week.now I know more about hamsters, I know you wouldn't do full cleans but I still want to keep spot cleaning every other day.My question is here: Should I start spot cleaning today ?

For most hamsters it would be stressful to start even just spot cleaning this early, so unless something absolutely needs cleaning out for safety which is very unlikely I would stick to just adding food and water for now.

Thanks for your reply! So approximately when should I start spot cleaning?

That would depend entirely on the individual hamster. I would personally wait until at least the first week has passed, though some hamsters may still take even longer than that to get comfortable with a new home enough to risk spot cleaning and such.
