About the game
You take cleaning jobs around Muckingham, starting with a muddy van and moving on to houses, parks and larger structures. Aim your washer across each surface, change attachments for awkward spots and watch the dirt disappear. Finishing jobs earns money for stronger washers and useful equipment. Customers send messages that add a small story around the work.
Two players can clean through Career Mode online. Free Play lets up to six revisit completed jobs, though the Apple Arcade version supports four there. You can work on different parts of the same place and talk while the shared cleaning total grows. Only the host keeps Career progress. The usual jobs have no timer, so it suits friends who want a quiet task while catching up.
