Cleaning Simulator is the kind of game you never expected to love — until you find yourself knee-deep in virtual grime, laughing with friends, and pressure-washing a pizza off a classroom ceiling. Part simulator, part slapstick comedy, it delivers low-stress gameplay that’s as relaxing as it is ridiculous. Whether you're in it for the visual satisfaction or the multiplayer madness, Cleaning Simulator is a refreshingly weird way to unwind.
Cleaning Simulator: The Surprisingly Relaxing Chaos of Virtual Cleaning
Ever wanted to wash away stress while power-blasting dirt in a virtual world? Cleaning Simulator delivers exactly that — and more. With its oddly satisfying gameplay, realistic environments, and chaotic co-op mode, this Steam title has carved out a unique niche in the simulator genre. Here’s why gamers are finding peace, purpose, and a lot of suds in one of the weirdest and most entertaining indie games of the year.
What Is Cleaning Simulator?
Cleaning Simulator is a quirky, first-person cleaning game where your only mission is simple: make everything spotless. Whether you’re pressure-washing a grimy house, mopping a disgusting public bathroom, or scrubbing a graffiti-covered school hallway, the goal is clear — clean it all.
Released on Steam, the game combines the methodical satisfaction of deep-cleaning with absurd humor and chaotic multiplayer. It’s not a serious simulation like PowerWash Simulator or House Flipper — this one embraces the ridiculous.
Core Gameplay: Clean, Laugh, Repeat
The main gameplay loop is simple — use your cleaning tools to wash, mop, scrub, and blast away every speck of dirt you can find. But what makes Cleaning Simulator stand out is how it blends goofy physics, wacky environments, and unexpected challenges.
-
First-person control of various cleaning tools (pressure washers, mops, vacuum cleaners)
-
Visible grime build-up that reacts dynamically to your cleaning
-
Slippery floors, broken equipment, and unexpected messes that appear mid-job
-
Bonus tasks and hidden secrets in each map
-
Multiplayer support for co-op chaos with friends or strangers
Features That Make Cleaning Simulator Worth Trying
1. Satisfying Visual Feedback
You see dirt vanish in real time, with surfaces going from crusty to sparkling — it’s a dopamine hit every time.
2. Co-op Mayhem
Team up with others online. Just be warned: your “coworkers” may cause more mess than they clean.
3. Humor Over Realism
From weird graffiti to over-the-top messes, this game doesn’t take itself too seriously — and that’s its charm.
4. Varied Locations
Clean everything from office spaces to fast-food joints to public restrooms — each more ridiculous than the last.
5. No Pressure, No Combat
No timers. No enemies. Just dirt, grime, and the joy of making things look new again.
Who’s It For?
-
Fans of casual and satisfying simulators like PowerWash Simulator, Viscera Cleanup Detail, or House Flipper
-
Streamers and YouTubers looking for light-hearted, meme-worthy content
-
Gamers who want a relaxing break from high-intensity shooters or RPGs
-
Anyone who finds joy in watching filth disappear and surfaces shine
What Could Be Improved
While fun and charming, Cleaning Simulator still has a few areas where polish could be added:
-
The UI is clunky in places and could use refinement
-
Physics bugs can occasionally send mops flying into space
-
Solo play gets repetitive faster than multiplayer
-
There’s no long-term progression or career mode — it’s mission-based and short-form
Still, these quirks are often part of the fun, especially when you’re laughing with friends mid-clean.
