Please say how often you do a full clean, you can also supplement your answer by describing your spot cleans.
 
In the rescue I don't do spot cleans. I do full cleans once a week.

In my own personal cages I use fleece. So I basically spot clean twice a day, and switch out the fleece/towels every 5 to 7 days.
 
Once a week, and I use fleece.

My spot cleans consist of changing tidy mats (can be bought from guinea pig accessory merchants) whenever they feel moist to the touch. I always feel for wet spots when I'm doing daily sweepings. My guineas have favorite spots to pee, so this extends the life of the main fleece underneath.
 
I may be excessive, but I normally change out their fleece everyday, though sometimes I do it every other day, with spot cleans in between. I have their fleece on top of puppy pads, and i normally only change out the puppy pads once every 5 days or so.
 
I do a full cleaning with changing fleece and towels/u-haul pads once a week, change their potty pads once a day and do a quick clean up twice a day when I do their veggies and water with a wet/dry shop vac.

I've got 2 in a 4x7 ish C&C.
