Don't typically write reviews but I saw so many negative comments, I had to defend this genuinely good game. I'm really picky when it comes to cleaning games but this one hit the mark. It's got surface cleaning, trash pickup, reorganizing, and puzzles! If anything, my only complaint is that I want more levels and such. It took me about 15 hours to 100% the game and achievements, but frankly that's still worth the price to me (paid full price). Incase you don't trust a random strangers opinion on "good," if you like the cleaning aspects of House Flipper 1 or 2, Crime Scene Cleaner, or Backrooms Cleaner, then you'll like this game too. It took a bit to get used to the controls as you have to actually drag the sponge instead of your typical "shove a mop or sponge at the situation." But there's a power washer if that's not your thing or if you don't like picking up items one at a time, there's a bin you can use to carry a few at a time. Looking at the other reviews, yes, there are bugs... but none that actually affect gameplay. It's more so an object may no-clip if you spawn it in the millimeter between walls and furniture. Otherwise, if it's a genuine game glitch, the game detects objects in places it shouldn't be and will respawn them where they belong. I never encountered any "game breaking glitches," I was always able to complete the level. The 2 times I accidentally spawned items in walls/furniture, I still finished the job but redid it later to get that 100%. This is literally a game with save slots and loads, you can just redo a level if you're encountering any problems... Also there's adorkable rubber duckies <3

Solid Concept, Rough Execution – Requires Too Much Patience After running out of the top-tier cleaning simulators, I picked this one up hoping for something fresh. The idea of cleaning wildly different pools (from backyards to massive aquaparks) is genuinely cool, and the early jobs can feel satisfying. Unfortunately, the fun fades quickly due to frustrating design choices and clunky mechanics that force constant restarts: No access to the shop once a job starts—if you misread requirements or run out of supplies (filters, trash bags, etc.), you have to abandon and restart the entire level. Underwater vacuum is buggy and poorly explained (G to place, E to retrieve)—it often gets stuck, shows 0/1 in inventory, and leaves you terrified you’ve lost it permanently. Extra water tanks for the pressure washer are pointless—you still have to trek back to the truck to refill instead of swapping them. No object rotation when picking up trash or tidying yards, so long items require awkward physics tricks, and messy sites stay messy. Telescopic pole washer is finicky (odd angles only, caused motion sickness for me). Goggles highlight everything yellow, making it a guessing game what’s actual trash vs. decorative junk. Garage furniture resets randomly, and some replenishment rules are confusing. The game has real potential and a great core concept, but it desperately needs quality-of-life fixes: mid-job shop access, reliable tools, clearer tutorials, object rotation, and better feedback on customer satisfaction (got Level 1 despite completing every visible task perfectly).If you have endless patience and love the genre, grab it on a deep sale. Otherwise, wait for major updates (if they ever come).Mixed feelings – 5/10

It's a little janky at times and I had to reset a few levels because the tasks don't go in the correct order but it's a pretty fun game.

really fun if you like cleaning games, silly and funny senarios

May 2025

Not exactly a high recommendation, but it does have some good ideas. It's just somewhat delivered terribly... I have been aware of this game for awhile but the negative reviews deterred me from even bothering but i really like cleaning games and i want to give all of them a chance myself to see what it does well or terribly so here we go: I like the packing of the van and all the stuff in our hub area. It's fun to slowly assemble all your tools and choose what order of stuff you want to focus on, and the mission tablet is fine. The main issue is just that the cleaning itself is very much a hit or miss. Some missions are more enjoyable than others, and the main issue i personally had besides the bugs which are inexusable and the devs should have at least added more safety features in before abandoning this game and moving on to the next. Like having to pick up 200 ducks individually because we don't have the bucket thing yet... That was super tedious, and also just the very slow cleaning of underwater parts like the pools or aquarium. It just didn't feel good to move around with the vacuum cleaner or swimming underwater. I thankfully figured out i could spray objects stuck in the wall either back into the level or out of bounds where they respawn, and I also could use the giant mop to fling the objects into the void with some mashing of the buttons, so try that if you run into these issues, and don't want to reset the level. It's a joke you have to do this and there isn't a "respawn items" or debug "grab stuff through walls" or anything to safeguard against this. Also do not get this game at full price, wait to it goes on sale. I personally paid around 8.80€ which felt okay for the amount of functional gameplay there is. But if you don't want a halfbaked somewhat buggy experience just skip this one and play the dozen other more well made cleaning games that are around.
