Yes, very easy. Locking the tube in place you can keep your pets secured on the top level as you pull out the bedding tray. Throw away the used bedding, wipe the tray clean with wet cloth and a pet safe disinfectant and refill with fresh bedding. Move your pets into the bedding tray and keep the tube in the locked position while you wipe down the solid floor, clean all accessories and replace food and water. This will only take you a few minutes!
