battery....
It takes a fair bit of juice to turn the starter compared to running headlights

I was going to say could be something to do with the immobiliser, as I don't know what it's like in Corsa C's.
Just sounds like a dodgey battery though if you tried locking and unlocking.
Did you have the stereo on whilst cleaning? How long were you cleaning for?

Take the bulb out, that's what I used to do with mine when it had an interior.

I spent a few hours cleaning on the Friday before PVS, went to start, battery dead, jump started it, on the Saturday another 4 hours cleaning, went to start to head off to the pod, battery dead, I'd only cleaned outside, doors closed, no stereo 
Drove to PVS, everything fine, started on the Sunday morning, drove to the stand, tried to avoid leaving doors open or anything why I'd been having trouble, come to leave at about 2.30, battery dead doesn't look good having to get a jump start on the stand
