Usually you should keep a hamster in a well-ventilated area, such as a hamster cage with BARS rather than glass. But when you have to use an aquarium, you put the hamster in another area (I used either my extra cage or his exercise ball), took out any toys in the aquarium, took it outside and threw the bedding into a garbage bag. Then, I put would clean the whole cage out with something like Spic N Span or Mr. Clean or Fabulosa, and washed it out with a sponge, then RINSED it out VERY well. You can use a towel to dry it, but I would let it completely air dry, then add the bedding, and there you go! A clean hamster cage. But be careful to clean his "potty" corner extra well, as he will usually urinate in the same area, and it can cause lots of problems if not sanitized enough.
