'''Cleaning''' is a chore throughout [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]], and is also featured as a [[skill]] in ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]''. Most objects, such as [[toilet]]s, [[stove]]s, and [[sink]]s, will get dirty over time and will eventually need to be cleaned. Puddles that are created by broken plumbing will need to be mopped. A higher cleaning skill allows Sims to clean objects and mop up puddles faster and more efficiently. Dirty objects and unmopped puddles will lower the [[environment]] score of the room{{Vgversion|TS1}}{{Vgversion|TS2}} and will cause negative [[moodlet]]s to appear.{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} All Sims aged [[child]] and older can clean up most messes, although some messes cannot be cleaned by children. Several social interactions between household member are featured, that allow to tell one another to clean up or take up the garbage.{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}}
In ''The Sims'', cleaning is a [[secret skill|hidden skill]] that's mostly used by [[Maid#The Sims|maids]], community lot [[NPC#The Sims|janitors]], [[Servo#The Sims|Servos]] and [[Bonehilda]]. All playable Sims and [[Townie#The Sims|townies]] have the cleaning skill, even if it's zero. However, the skill doesn't appear in the skill panel, and cannot be changed or improved in-game without the use of hacked objects or third-party programs.
The Cleaning skill is one of the seven main skills that a Sim can build up. Cleaning skill points can be gained by tidying up the mess which occurs during daily life (for instance, washing up the dishes or taking out trash) or by reading a book. You can also gain Cleaning skill points by certain [[Career rewards#Prints Charming Fingerprint Scanner|career rewards]]. ▼
There are several career tracks that focus on building the Cleaning skill in order to get a promotion, such as: [[Culinary]], [[Medicine]], [[Science]], [[Natural Science]] (available with the [[University]] expansion pack) and [[Education]]. For [[teenagers]], having a high Cleaning skill (level eight or higher) will earn them the §750 [[Scholarship|Kim Metro Prize for Hygienics]], one of several scholarships available with the University expansion pack.▼

The Prints Charming Fingerprint Scanner is the [[career reward]] unlocked when a Sim reaches level 6 of the [[law enforcement]] career. It is a pistol-sized gun that looks much like bar-code scanners used by employees in modern supermarkets. If a Sim scans an object that was used by someone recently, that Sim's fingerprints will show up and the Sim's picture will appear in a thought bubble above the Sim using the scanner. If no one has used the object recently, a question mark will appear in a thought bubble. The scanner has a skill gain rate of 250%, and has a [[fun]] rating of 4.
==The Sims 4==
In ''[[Kits for The Sims 4#The Sims 4: Bust the Dust Kit|The Sims 4: Bust the Dust Kit]]'', cleaning is expanded upon by allowing entire floors to get filthy, requiring the need to be vacuumed with floor or handheld vacuums. Rooms that go untidy will gradually get stinky and cause uncomfortable moodiest for Sims and generate dust piles. There are multiple additions this grants other pack features: [[Maid|maids]] will be able to automatically use vacuums by themselves. This includes [[Bonehilda]]{{Vgversion|TS4:PS}}. Robot Vacuums{{Vgversion|TS4:C&D}} will fulfil the same vacuuming needs without needing a Sim to do it. Cleaner Utili-Bots{{Vgversion|TS4:DU}} will then clean the dust piles and surfaces.
Pristine level cleanliness allows Sims to clean easy, this also allows Sims to be more inspired and confident in pristine environments.
Dusty level cleanliness is a normal state for a house, this allows Sims to gain relationships as well as fun and social needs gain a little faster. [[Dust bunny|Dust Bunnies]] appear when a floor is dusty.
Dirty level cleanliness is a negative state for a house, it makes cleaning take longer, romantic interactions fail a bit more, Parties hosted on dirty floors will make the host embarrassed, cooking and crafting skills start getting harder. However, [[Slob (The Sims 4)|Slob]] Sims don't get effected.
Filthy level cleanliness is the worst state for a house, cleaning takes even slower and it is much harder for Sims to clean, Sims will get frustrated or angry from everything being filthy, and Sims who keep cleaning will enter a rage cleaning state where they'll get energy and fun for cleaning as their angriness builds. Dust Bunnies turn into filth fiends in this state.
