Why Clean it Out?

my A. Genic has decided that NOTHING will enter her home and when I use my metal tongs to clean it out
I don't own this species so maybe I am ignorant of something here, why do you bother to clean it out at all? I don't clean out mine at all, they clean out their little tube webs/caves/tunnels all on their own. Is it a concern of bacteria or mold build up and maybe mites attracted from the mold? Even my A. minatrix pushes it's old skin out its tub web from above.

Viper has a point. Has anyone ever tried cleaning a GBB enclosure? It isn't easy working around all of that webbing.

I hear you there Bob. The heavy webbers are the worst to clean, esp because they just web over the "junk" one would want to remove. And we know just how much GBBs like being disturbed hahah
