To clean it, I just use hot water and dish soap. Honestly, that's mostly just to get the tarantula poop off the sides. I've learned that tarantulas are entirely unaffected by being exposed to the remnants of another tarantula (webbing, urticating hairs, etc.) You could honestly NOT clean an enclosure or replace the substrate, plop a tarantula in there, and it wouldn't care one bit that another tarantula was in that spot five minutes prior. Literally the only issue is if the previous occupant had parasites such as mites.</p></blockquote><p></p>
