Replacing it teaches the kid that if you break something, it magically comes back like a respawn in a video game.

I'd be very tempted to work with him to help clean it; let him do much of the grunt work whilst I helped and supervised (though to be honest I wouldn't be that hard on my kid for doing this unless he had been told don't do it beforehand. I've done enough boneheaded things in my day!).




the point is that OP was complaining about the time he didnt need to spend cleaning it

>I'd be very tempted to work with him to help clean it;

how is this being hard on your kid, but you doing it by yourself is totally normal and replacing it a total economic waste? Is it easy to fix or not?
