'''Cleaning''' is a chore |
'''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}} |

Just about a Sim does anything in their domestic life, many things require cleaning and scrubbing. Most of the time, the kitchen and bathrooms will need to be tied up as they tend to be usually be messy than other rooms. Dishes that Sims eat meals from will need to be washed in the sink or dishwasher, and any trash on the ground will need to be disposed into garbage cans or trash compactors. Counter furniture will get filthy overtime, so do plumbing objects. The Bathroom is an often sight for leaked puddles when something breaks, therefor the water will require to be mopped. If there a laundry machine or hamper on the lot, clothes will be left by changing Sims, which will need to be picked up and washed. |

More additional chores may appear or be eliminated depending on the game and their [[content packs]]. In ''The Sims 2'' puddles that left on the ground will turn into weed if not mopped, which will then need to be removed.{{Vgversion|TS2}} Dug holes by pets or Sims on lawn will need to be filled up.{{Vgversion|TS2:BV}}{{Vgversion|TS2:P}} Beds that have been used will need to be made.{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS3}} |

In ''The Sims'', cleaning is a 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 control panel. It cannot be changed or improved within the game, unless Sims use an object that has been hacked to affect cleaning. Some third-party character-editing programs may allow the player to edit a Sim's cleaning skill. |

<blockquote class="note">It goes without saying that a clean house is a happy house, but Sims should work on their housekeeping abilities to make the cleaning process quicker and easier. They can tidy up around the house to improve this skill; it comes most naturally to neater Sims.</blockquote> |

In ''The Sims 2'', points can be gained by tidying up the messes which occur during daily life (for instance, washing counters, appliances, toilets, sinks, and mopping) or by reading a skill book. Sims can also gain cleaning skill points by using certain [[Career rewards#Prints Charming Fingerprint Scanner|career rewards]], or by filling in holes [[digging|dug up]] on the lot. A higher cleaning skill speeds up the cleaning process. |
