Cleaning Outdoor Enclosures

How do people clean their outdoor enclosures?

Do they spot pick or hose down etc

Just wondering because I am having a enclosure built very soon approx. 20ftx15ft and was wondering how I would clean it.
It will have soiled area, grey slated area and grass area..

Does that sound ok, or should I just have slated area? so I could hose down?

Thanks xx

I would have a mixture Lynne - the darker the substrate the more it absorbs heat from the sun ( if we have any!) Also leave some bare soil partic in a cold frame as they love this. As for cleaning I do pick up anything I see but dont find a great deal in the grass/weeds.
