Cage cleaning for a GBB

Hello, I have a green bottle blue tarantula and she has made lots of webs. I need to clean her cage, but I read on another post that you should not remove the web. I don't know how I am to clean the cage without removing webs. What do you guys do about this? I know it needs to be cleaned because I see something white in the soil that looks like calcified pee, or something gross of that nature.

If you can get to it with tongs without disturbing the web too much then remove it otherwise leave it, there is no one to clean it up for them in the wild and it won't harm her.

Thank you, Enn! I will try to get to it without disturbing anything because I feel like it needs to be dealt with. I live on the beach and it's very humid here. I'm worried my climate makes it difficult for my girl (Ursula) to live in a dry climate.
