How is the bathroom hygiene of kittens, in this case a 1 month 1 week old kitten, optimally handled? He doesn't seem all too skilled in the art of cleaning himself yet and lacks any litter mates or a cat mother. He's tended to at least every two hours to refresh his little cage i.e offering food and regular dry cat food and cleaning up poop and cuddling with him and letting him stretch his legs.
The issue is he poops on himself and then lays and rolls around in it. Mostly stuck around the ass and legs. Gets so stuck that trying to remove it with wipes or a warm wet rag causes pain. I have an older male cat that has been kinda like a mom to him but he's a giant cat and sometimes it looks like he's gonna maul the little kitten. He's cleaned him before but his tongue must be too rough cause he cries.

Kittens cry all the time, they are babies
Just wash it instead of spending money and effort on wipes that hurt him
He will grow and learn to take care because you have an older cat showing him the ropes
Also remember to have 1 litterbox pr cat + 1 extra to avoid territorial and filth issues

Yeah the areas I mentioned have been rubbed raw and bleed sometimes when stimulated.
Set up a little litter box in a shoe box so whenever he is squatting he'll be placed there to hopefully get him used to the litter as a place to pee or poop.
