About Carpet Cleaning Simulator
Carpet Cleaning Simulator is an incremental cleaning game where each scrub, foam creation, and rinse translates into money. Players begin with basic brushes, sponges, and a squeegee, then reinvest earnings into faster equipment.
A meteor will eventually strike, resetting the run. Persistent upgrades survive the reset, while run‑based upgrades disappear. The loop encourages optimization across multiple runs, balancing immediate earnings with long‑term efficiency.
01 / THE GUIDE
Cleaning Mechanics
The core loop involves scrubbing dirt with brushes or sponges, generating foam that must be washed away with water. After rinsing, a squeegee pushes the foam into a drain, granting money for each completed cycle. Visual and control feedback are designed to feel satisfying, letting players see grime disappear and foam build before the rinse.
- Focus on smooth, continuous scrubbing to maximize foam generation per swipe.
- Adjust mouse sensitivity in Options for finer control over brush strokes.

Upgrade Types
Earnings can be spent on two upgrade categories. Persistent upgrades remain after the meteor reset, providing lasting benefits. Run‑based upgrades give powerful temporary boosts but disappear when the reset occurs. Choosing which upgrades to purchase influences both short‑run earnings and long‑term progression, requiring strategic allocation of resources.
- Prioritize persistent upgrades early to build a stable foundation.
- Save run‑based upgrades for later runs when you can afford larger boosts.

Reset System
A meteor eventually falls onto the city, resetting time and sending the player back to the beginning. All progress is cleared except for persistent upgrades, which carry over to the new run. This mechanic creates a cyclical playstyle where each reset offers a fresh opportunity to apply accumulated upgrades more efficiently.
- Track how many runs you’ve completed to gauge when persistent upgrades become dominant.
- Plan your final upgrades before a reset to maximize the next run’s start.

Progression Strategy
Players earn money by cleaning carpets and by washing away foam. Balancing these two income streams while deciding which upgrades to buy determines overall efficiency. Optimizing each run involves prioritizing actions that yield the highest monetary return before the next meteor reset, then reinvesting those earnings for faster future runs.
- Focus on actions that generate foam quickly, as rinsing it provides consistent income.
- Review your upgrade tree after each reset to adjust priorities.
