yo just looking for tips for faster clean up, or more convenience in general:) even spot cleaning takes forever for us.

we use bath mats and a pee pad underneath. their mats are overlapping so i’ve started picking up all the poops by hand instead of having to pick up all the mats
 
To be honest, I admit that I pick up a certain amount of poop with my hands too. Not faster but a hand brush with silicone bristles helps with getting everything off the mats. Once I have removed most of the hay, I use the vacuum cleaner hose. Sir George stays away from it but Master Boris likes to chase it around.
 
I've go an old Henry Hoover I use the nozzle on the main fleece. The piggies are used to it and run up one end of the cage while I clean half. I then say 'all change' and they swap ends. With 5 cages to clean it was taking me 2 hours a day to just poop pick twice a day picking up by hand or shaking out the fleece. I shake the pee pads into a bucket before tackling the main fleece.
 
I use a cat litter scoop and a dustpan. I hold the scoop upright and use it to scrape the poo into the dustpan. I have been doing it for so long now that I’ve developed a specific technique, I realised this when I had someone do it for me as I was too unwell to do it and the poos were flicking everywhere!
