I just take 'it' out with toilet roll then wipe down with an antiseptic wipe.
I do a proper clean once a month.
That works for me and mine so we stick with it!

I use F10 wipes (from blue reptiles) for a quick clean and hand clean between going to each reptiles cage.
I use F10 diluted spray (again from blue reptiles) for a good thorough cleaning of cages etc.
It lasts ages and came highly recommended. I've never had a problem with it so I recommend it now.
For my other pets I use Hibiscrub (same as used in the vets) and I also use this for my reptiles if I happen to be stupid enough to run out of F10!
Hope that helps.
