What type of wheel are you using?
I use a bucket wheel made from one solid piece of plastic. Erin makes tons of mess during the night but the wheel is so easy to clean that it comes right off and takes me no more than 5 minutes to clean the wheel and litter tray.
If you're using one of those wire mesh wheels (which aren't suitable for hedgehogs anyway - their toes and nails can get caught and cause injuries) I could see why it's hard to clean. If you are using a similar type wheel to mine then my only other question would be how often do you clean it? It really needs to be done daily.
