Cleaning out definitely becomes easier once they have been neutered, if you use litter trays with something like either newspaper, or I use wood pellet cat litter in mine, then put hay on top of that, then bunny can eat, poop and wee in that same spot. If you keep the floor of the playhouse clear of litter and hay, and use something like non slip vinyl flooring or rubber stable matting on that, it’s easy just to sweep up any stray poops. Then you can tip out litter trays into a bin bag, and brush it clean. I don’t actually wash any of my bunnies stuff down each time, although they are indoor and litter trained. I find keeping the litter trays clean but still smelling of them helps them to keep up with litter habits. You might need more than one litter tray if he uses a few places as a toilet.

Regarding the issue of hay in the garden, I find that I have to be careful not to get that. Where are you storing your hay? I store mine on a high shelf in their shed, but I have to take hay from there to a litter tray at the end of their run. If I take large handfuls, then lots of it falls onto the garden, so instead I make sure I fill a large bucket to transport it from the shed to the litter tray

I second zoobec's suggestion of covering the playhouse floor with vinyl or stable matting. The shed here has vinyl flooring (cheap offcut from a carpet shop) and so it is easy to sweep.

You'll find that you'll develop your own routine and it will all become much easier in time.
