I've done this 2 ways:
1- get a sink drain from Home Despot & find a myriad of attachments to get this down to a size that will fit a stopcock (ball valve). Then you can just turn the valve and let the water drain into a bucket. Carry the bucket over to the toilet & that part is done. Quick wipeout & disinfect, close the stopcock, refill with the bucket you just emptied & refilled while the disinfectant was wroking. Et voila! You're done with that cleaning with no power usage...
2- cut a hole in the floor that is too small for the animal to get through & leave a bucket under neath so the misting system can drain without you having to worry about it. Just squeegee the ig poop through the hole, disinfect & go. Gotta remember to dump & disinfect the bucket regularly though... Gets pretty nasty.
The first one is more difficult and expensive, but, makes cleaning pretty effortless. The second one is easier, but, more "memory intensive" and you burn up more disinfectant...
