I spot clean every day, and I clean out the whole substrate if I think its neccesary. Chucks can be pretty messy though.

Unfortunately alos have to clean the windows every few days if the cage is in a public room as the snalt a lot...... Mine are in my reptile room so I do not clean the windows more than 1 a month.

i currently clean the windows every other day or so with reptile cleaner and warm water.
i spot clean every day, dusting up food that has been scattered around etc.
every other day i disinfect basking stones as this is where the chucks like to go to the loo. and food bowls.
once a week to every two weeks i take everything out and steralise the whole vivarium and decor.
at the moment i only use lino flooring for the hatchlings so this make cleaning a lot easier.
